If Temple Street hospital didn't accept the Dixon/Dickson report why in god's name did they tell us the advocacy groups @SBH_PAG they were implementing the recommendations? @CcoHse
@PadraigRice so pre-@CHI_Ireland, temple street commissioned the Dickson report, it showed neglect & failures in children. Temple street didn't accept the report, when at @CcoHse was asked if @HSELive accepted it, Colm Henry says he has never seen it

3yrs today I made my way to Dublin to plead with this committee. In 13 years our son has never had access to a multi disciplinary clinic for Spina Bifida. Nothing has changed. The neglect of our children continues. @SBHIreland @HSELive @bwhelan100 @OCO_ireland @CHIatCrumlin
Sorry it’s finally been highlighted, sorry it’s all over the news, sorry the culture of neglect has festered so badly it’s weeping from the seams of CHI, sorry we cannot be trusted with your loved ones care😔
Head of Children’s Health Ireland to apologise to families for series of hospital scandals thesun.ie/health/1539907…
Many parents—whose children suffered serious harm from unnecessary interventions or were denied urgent care—are travelling to the Oireachtas Health Committee today to watch @CHI_Ireland staff- who have had their PR training offer more apologies & sad faces Lifelong consequences…
The National Economic Crime Bureau is now investigating possible offences involving the collection of #NTPF fees relating to about 180 cases. @ST__Ireland The development raises serious questions for Lucy Nugent, the embattled chief executive of the @CHI_Ireland , who did not…
We’ve effectively become the ones tasked with reading CHI’s responses, picking apart the fluff and highlighting the contradictions—only to bring it all back to the HSE. It’s staggering how little oversight there actually is. @SBH_PAG A small number of individuals within CHI…
This situation remains deeply troubling. There is an urgent need for stronger leadership at the highest levels. The current approach falls short of what’s required. If someone in a leadership role feels unable to fulfil their responsibilities effectively, then a timely and…
🔍 The HSE is failing in its oversight of CHI. There is no real accountability. 📣 Families have raised serious concerns directly with HSE leadership, including CEO Gloster. @BernardGloster @CcoHse @KateOFla 📤 Instead of investigating, the HSE sends these concerns back to CHI…
Lucy Nug. CEO@CHI - “Unsubstantiated allegations in the ‘21 Report” Elish Hard. Former CEO - “We don’t accept the 2017 Dickson Report” Hmmmm There’s a bang of denial, a refusal to admit harm caused, to apologise repeatedly while refuting the actual facts & our lived experience
2025 and Bernard Gloster is asking for an unpublished CHI Report dating back to 2021. What has Gloster been doing since he took over his role?
#ChildrensHealth @CHI_Ireland @HSELive More shocking revelations @JohnMooneyIRL in today’s Irish Sunday Times
@PadraigRice @davidcullinane + others asking the big questions that CHI could not answer. Huge thanks to #brianbrennan @FineGael and @TomClonan also for an emotional hard hitting contributions. Lucy Nugent/ Eilish Hardiman, the Trust of the nation is gone, please go too!
@CHI_Ireland you are farcical. i saw your unsympathetic soul less faces today for the first time, ive never experienced heartlessness like it. 7 or 8 of you in suits with huge files, all looking like naughty kids outside the principles office. You have all failed our children
Issued not resolved, issued not addressed, ducking and diving, well done @catherinegalway Ms Hardiman is slippery to catch and not many willing to tackle, the answers are there in black and white #backus @SBH_PAG

‘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…
Shame on the system that protects the culture of neglect, well done @wereontheditch

Thanks to @wereontheditch 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.
Asked @CHI_Ireland how many #Disabled children & teenagers now infertile from lack of routine Urological interventions (standard throughout EU) They responded it was ‘impossible to know’ - Shocking incompetence & cruelty - De Facto sterilisation & exposure to cancer risk
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…
