A comprehensive patient safety review and assurance process into the Paediatric Surgery Service at CHI and Dublin Hospitals has been commissioned which is being led by an independent, international clinical expert Mr Nayagam. As the review is entirely independent, a timeline for completion and publication of the review cannot be confirmed at this stage of the process.
The review, however, has progressed well and is now subject to the time required for due process and fair procedures. The review is due to be published when it is completed.
