The Government is set to launch a statutory inquiry into scoliosis and spina bifida care at Children's Health Ireland.

The announcement that health minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill and Tánaiste Simon Harris would be recommending the inquiry came after they met on Wednesday evening with Gillian and Stephen Morrison Sherratt, the parents of Harvey, who died in July after facing long delays for surgery.
