John Brady: He is.

John Brady: Sorry, Deputy. Surgeon A is part of that. Is he one of a number of surgeons or is he - or is that person - the only surgeon?

John Brady: I appreciate that. On the clinical audit into hip dysplasia, which is an issue of great concern, Ms Nugent made reference to the imminent report and the process of that being produced to the chief medical officer. I imagine that will then go to the Minister at that point. We are not sure what imminent means in this regard. It could be after this meeting or it could be tomorrow. Are...

John Brady: I was asked to put the following information on the record because people hear about hip dysplasia and what it means is important. We are talking about children and their families. If the witnesses do not mind, I want to read this. It was given to me by Senator Maria McCormack, one of my colleagues, and involves a person in the constituency in which the Senator lives. The people involved...

John Brady: The audit period.
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland: Discussion (22 May 2025)
John Brady: Okay. Am I correct in saying that it was backdated to 2010?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland: Discussion (22 May 2025)
John Brady: Why 2010?
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland: Discussion (22 May 2025)

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland: Discussion (22 May 2025)

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland: Discussion (22 May 2025)
John Brady: I have already mentioned surgeon A. It has now been established that this person was the primary individual in respect of the HIQA report and was also involved in the Nayagam review. I am not sure whether there are others. We might get information on that, if possible, and how broad the terms of reference were. It has been established that surgeon A was a central figure in that review....

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland: Discussion (22 May 2025)

- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland: Discussion (22 May 2025)
John Brady: I thank the witnesses for that. It is pretty damning. It is critical that children and their families be key to all of this. The quicker that families can be engaged with, the better. The witnesses have outlined some of the measures in the action plan for families that have received those letters. For the record, will the witnesses say again what the process is if a family has received a...
