Well said, Deputy Brennan. Did HIQA consult any hip preservation surgeons before publishing its recent report which failed to recommend universal screening for dysplasia?

Why has universal screening not been adopted? It is used in a lot of other countries. It is a preservation mechanism. In other words, it shows whether a person actually needs the procedure. Why did Children's Health Ireland commission an audit of hip preservation surgeries in Temple Street and Cappagh hospitals and compare them with Crumlin children's hospital where there is no such service because it outsources it to the Beacon for Kids department and University Hospital Galway, which were excluded from the report?
