Immediate action should be taken to suspend the surgeons involved in the hip surgery audit report, an opposition TD has said.

People Before Profit-Solidarity TD Paul Murphy said surgeons made the choice to operate on children and, in some cases, it may have been unnecessary. This is where the focus must be, he said, calling for those involved to be “at the very least” suspended from carrying out further osteotomies.
