Childrens Health Ireland (CHI) and the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Cappagh, are conducting an extensive audit of 2,320 hip surgeries dating back to 2010, following concerns from families. They have reached out to 1,757 families to inform them of the audit, which aims to address potential issues and ensure patient monitoring until skeletal maturity. Authorities emphasized their commitment to transparent communication and will implement any necessary actions after the audit's completion, projected for next week. Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill acknowledged the concern among families and the need to finalize the audit process swiftly.
"We recognise the concerns of our patients' families and are committed to expediting the audit process."
The audit process is nearing completion and the Minister has been advised that it will be finalised and completed imminently.
