During a Dáil debate, Ms. Carroll MacNeill highlighted failures in care standards for children under Children's Health Ireland (CHI). An ongoing audit, involving 561 cases, has raised concerns over surgeries for conditions that were misdiagnosed, including instances of using non-CE marked spinal implants. The Minister emphasized the necessity for transparency in addressing these failures, offering apologies to affected families and acknowledging the serious shortcomings in the medical practices and safeguards in place at CHI.
"Those children were not protected from the risk of harm as they should have been. What happened to those children was wrong. It should not have happened."
"While we continue to provide services and drive reform, we need to address the failures of the HIQA review head on."
