The Government ignored families’ concerns that a €19m fund for scoliosis care was being spent on other kinds of treatment by Children’s Health Ireland, the Dáil heard on Thursday.
It follows Health Minister Stephen Donnelly saying earlier it is now clear the fund was spent “far more broadly” on other areas than had been expected when it was allocated in 2022.
