Children’s Health Ireland only published a summary of a critical report on waiting list funding in its hospitals and defended its choice not to discuss some findings with families.

The unpublished report — which was critical of how funding was used to reduce waiting lists and highlighted bullying and other serious issues — has been widely covered and discussed including in the Irish Examiner over the last three weeks.
