Regrettably children can still experience a long waiting period for spinal procedures, and I am very aware of the burden this brings on them and their families.

Several initiatives are underway to help improve access to services including a ring-fenced theatre, additional outpatient clinics, and national and international outsourcing to maximise capacity.

The Paediatric Spinal Services Management Unit, led by a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, and supported by wider Multi-Disciplinary Teams, ensures patients are prioritised correctly for surgery and works to reduce waiting times.

CHI publishes information on its spinal surgery waiting lists on its website on a monthly basis.

As this is an operational query, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
