Parents of scoliosis patients have urged the Government to show them expert reviews, which they claim are being kept from them, ahead of the terms of reference for a statutory inquiry being drawn up.

One advocate told the Irish Examiner that if they are not aware of all the information surrounding the scoliosis scandal, they cannot ensure that justice is delivered for children.
