Episode Description

A draft audit report into 561 hip surgeries on children since 2021 found 79 per cent of the surgeries at Cappagh hospital and 60 per cent at Temple Street “did not meet the threshold for surgery”.

Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty raised the issue in the Dáil yesterday and joined NewsTalk Breakfast earlier to discuss further.
