Children's Health Ireland reps to face Oireachtas committee over spinal surgery controversy

Social Democrats TD Catherine Murphy said it is not surprising that families have lost confidence "because they’ve been given repeated guarantees and those guarantees didn’t stand up". 

Representatives from Children's Health Ireland are to appear before the Oireachtas Health Committee on Thursday to answer questions about the controversy around spinal surgery at Temple Street hospital.

The hearing is addition to the committee's usual meeting on Wednesday.
