Temple Street Children's Hospital has cancelled scoliosis procedures scheduled to take place on children over the next three weeks.
The decision to delay procedures may affect over 30 children currently on waiting lists. The delays were attributed to workload pressures affecting hospital workers and services, according to Children’s Health Ireland.
Julie Ahern, director of legal policy for the Children’s Rights Alliance, told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland that she was “deeply concerned” by the news and that more clarity was needed from Temple Street Hospital on the cancellations.
