Probe to examine who knew about use of uncertified springs in surgeries at Temple Street

An external group has been tasked to examine the use of uncertified springs at Temple Street Children's Hospital.

An investigation into the use of uncertified springs in spinal surgeries at Temple Street Children's Hospital will examine if senior management was aware of their use, how many people knew, and when.

The clinical director of Children's Health Ireland (CHI) confirmed yesterday that a number of clinicians and others within CHI were aware that the uncertified implants were being used.
