Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Treatment of Children with Dysplasia and Scoliosis and Related Matters: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

The processes that have been brought in, particularly concerning medical devices and the ethics committee, are actually robust regarding innovations. Where a clinician wants to discuss modifications, they have a process that they can bring them up through within CHI. That assures the families and parents we serve that modifications are tested through that process before they are actually implemented.
