Three members of the board of Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) resigned on Tuesday morning, after months of controversy at the operator of paediatric healthcare in the State.
CHI was established in 2019 to govern and operate paediatric services in Ireland, and currently operates Temple Street, Crumlin and Tallaght hospitals. It will also operate the new National Children’s Hospital upon completion.
However, there have been a number of controversies in the hospital, including the implantation of unapproved springs into children with scoliosis; the threshold for hip surgeries; and surgical outcomes for children in the orthopaedic service.
