Consultants call for full systemic review of spinal surgeries

A spokesperson for the Irish Hospital Consultants Association said justifiable concerns have been raised regarding both the terms of reference and who the review is ultimately reporting to, regarding spinal surgery reviews.

The Irish Hospital Consultants Association (IHCA) has called for adjustments to be made to allow for a full systemic review of spinal surgeries.

The IHCA has also called for €4bn in the upcoming budget to build and open essential additional hospital beds, theatres, diagnostics, and other facilities already announced by the Minister for Health.
