In December 2022, Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) announced it had commissioned an external clinical review of complex spinal surgeries carried out in Temple Street on a specific group of children with spina bifida during a period between October 2019 and October 2022.

The review involves expert clinicians from an international North American centre of excellence.

Once this external review has been finalised, its findings will be communicated appropriately, particularly with regard to any patients and families impacted.
