528. To ask the Minister for Health if the additional current and capital funding for orthopaedic activity at Children’s Health Ireland which includes various sections (details supplied) has been used solely to increase orthopaedic activity at CHI; and if not, if the budgets have in part or in whole been reallocated or used to fund other areas of care in CHI.

The funding was provided to specifically target orthopaedic activity, including scoliosis and spina bifida. I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly as soon as possible, to confirm that this is the case.
