Children's Health Ireland (CHI) has agreed before the High Court not to take steps to fill the role of a business manager, who was sacked in August over what she says was an instruction by her superiors to delist 10 patients from the CHI spinal surgery waiting list.

Anita Little's job must not be filled or advertised as being vacant pending further orders, CHI has agreed in formal undertakings to the court.
