View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 852, 853, 1027 and 1028 together.
I asked officials in my Department to engage with the HSE and CHI on this matter. I have not received a final report of the independent clinical audit on Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip surgery at Children's Health Ireland and National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh.
