'Children were not protected': Report criticises use of unlicensed springs in spinal surgeries at Temple Street

  • 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".
