A clinical audit has been conducted by an external international expert on surgery for children with developmental dysplasia of the hip across CHI and the National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh (NOHC).

CHI and NOHC have issued letters in recent weeks to families and patients who had hip dysplasia procedures since 2010 to provide reassurance and information about the audit and to ensure all potential cases were included.

The audit process is nearing completion and I have been advised that it will be finalised and completed imminently. I will be in a position to comment further once the audit is published.
