Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Delays in Accessing Scoliosis Treatment and Surgery: Discussion

Mr. Connor Green:

Mr. Kelly was appointed nearly a year ago but he only took up post in September. He has had no operating room since September. Let me tell the Deputy the difference between me and that colleague is that I am here because I miss my mammy and my children are here and this fella has nothing to tie him. He was trained in University of California, Los Angeles, UCLA, and they are trying to get him back there. I actually do not know why he bothers staying. I really do not.
