Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

2:00 am

Ms Lucy Nugent:

The most important thing is that the patients identified in relation to time waiting were all reviewed, redistributed and dated and had their treatment. I have met the staff involved and by their own admission, they are a better functioning team than they were prior to that intervention. That is a positive. They are still engaging with supports to make sure they can build themselves up to be a well-functioning team in advance of the new children's hospital, which is a focus for us right across the organisation.
