I appreciate that, but it does not scream "patient-centred approach" to me. I have an issue with that and with the lack of communication with the families. Some families may not even fully realise. There needs to be much more communication with this family. This is only one family who have come to my attention in recent days. I have serious questions and concerns about this. It is not good enough, to be honest. If we are looking at a patient-centred approach, we need to do better. I urge Children's Health Ireland to do that.

Are all of the consultants involved in the surgeries, particularly in Temple Street and Cappagh hospitals, still employed and working with CHI?
