This question relates to spinal surgeries for children with scoliosis and spina bifida. The Minister will be aware that over the past number of months there has been a number of high-profile reports of children and their families having to take the media. Some of those children have been waiting since as far back as 2020 for their spinal surgeries to be done. The families are pleading for help and looking for Children's Health Ireland, CHI, to deliver the care their child needs. What more can be done to ensure that the promise that was made that no child would have to wait longer than four months is delivered?
