Mick Caul Mairead O'Doherty Pádraig Rice TD Important to note: The new Central Referral system was introduced on the direct request of MOH Jennifer C.Mac., after the Internal Report was leaked & she had read it & its recommendations. It was not a pro-active action by CHI, as implied, but rather a demanded action by MOH.

This is a huge finding. I hate keeping patients NPO all day, just to have the OR cancel my case at 3pm. Turn out we don’t actually need them to be NPO. Chances anesthesia groups will sign on to this? Zero. Why would they? That’s one less reason they can cancel a case.

Leading Integrity What has gone wrong in society that being a truth-teller is terminal to your career, livilhood, and reputation? Seeing so many whistleblowers drowned or burned as witches, have many good people decided to become silently complicit? theguardian.com/news/2025/jun/…

While consultants earned €7,000 a day… While €120,000 in public money was spent creating a new role for the outgoing CHI CEO… While key reports were buried for years… Patients sat on waiting lists — waiting in pain, waiting in fear. This isn’t just about money. It’s

‘There is a continued withholding of information, claiming this to be a human resources report. The reality is very different,’ says one patients’ group about this report. Children’s Health Ireland won’t publish it. Here it is in full. ontheditch.com/heres-the-repo…

Thanks to The Ditch for the opportunity to comment on their recent publication of the elusive CHI report. We've shared our full statement in the article. Here’s a brief summary of our thoughts. We'll continue as always to advocate for and support these families.

Children's Health Ireland refused to acknowledge harm or inform parents that some children now face infertility and increased cancer risk due to delayed care Children’s Health Institution would be more accurate — the institution always comes first #backus Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paeds Advocacy#backus

Consistently ourselves & The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs have advised that children are not prioritised on clinical need This "orphan" report categorically proves this It is true of scoliosis orthopaedic & urology services #backus in our call for a statutory inquiry into Children's Health Ireland

The ditch decides to put the best interests of the children & teenagers first rather than spending years speaking words that bring no action or accountability or care. If only we had a minister for health & a ceo of Children's Health Ireland that chose to prioritise the children & be brave

The failures in patient care & culture in this report have hurt so many children & families And staff I really hope now it is published that healing can begin Not the kind of healing that seeks to make the problem go away Instead, healing with honest reflection & deep change
