The Tánaiste and I have agreed to work in partnership with parents and advocacy groups on the structure of an inquiry into spina bifida and complex scoliosis services at CHI.

Work is progressing to determine the best approach for the inquiry, and a follow-up meeting with parents and patient advocates is due to be arranged very shortly.

The inquiry will be part of the wider reflection on paediatric services in CHI.
