I note the Minister's comments earlier on CHI at Temple Street and his sympathies to the parents of the children. I have a number of parents who believe they are outside of the scope of the current investigation but who are nonetheless affected because their children are within the orthopaedic paediatric setting. Their children are affected in other parts of the body, not by spina bifida, although one has a child with spina bifida and has not been contacted. They are in deep distress; they are contacting the helpline and getting no answers. I ask that something be put in place immediately to make contact, broaden the scope and include those who are outside the spina bifida category but within the surgeon's capacity.
