'Children were not protected': Report criticises use of unlicensed springs in spinal surgeries at Temple Street
The Hiqa review found that governance changes within Children’s Health Ireland meant that a number of policies and safety checks "were not properly applied".
It found the use of the springs was an attempt to replicate an experimental surgical technique that was still under investigation at a hospital abroad, but in a modified way.
Children's Health Ireland said it is "deeply sorry" to the children and young people who "did not get the care they deserved".
