CHI Inquiry in Chaos

Children’s Health Ireland is at the center of a heated political and advocacy storm as Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill pushes for families to engage with an independent facilitator ahead of a major inquiry into care for kids with scoliosis, spina bifida, and now hip dysplasia. But with the scoping process stalled—families feel excluded, key documents withheld, and two major advocacy groups pulling out—the Minister insists the facilitator has reached out to nearly all groups and is open to anyone else stepping forward. Critics call it a “mess of the Minister’s own making,” while she defends the process as inclusive and urges all voices to join—no one is too small to matter.
