Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The parents of children waiting for scoliosis surgery have described the manner in which the lists are treated as an exercise in manipulation, with people being moved from one list to another, and letters being sent to the parents of sick children expecting unrealistically quick replies. "Manipulation" is their word but I do not disagree with them. Can the Minister provide us with information about the suspended list for scoliosis surgery and how many children have been treated abroad?
