The suspension of extra funding for Dublin's children's hospitals by the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) follows a leaked report claiming misuse by a consultant. The NTPF was allocated €230 million this year to reduce waiting lists through insourcing.

As a consequence of these revelations, children facing long waits will not benefit from vital resources aimed at addressing backlogs in care.
