## Resource

Hundreds of families whose children received spinal surgeries at Children’s Health Ireland are walking away from government talks, demanding a more thorough, family-centered inquiry into alleged medical failures. Frustrated by what they see as a flawed process that ignores key issues like unapproved devices and broken promises, two major advocacy groups — representing nearly 900 families — are pushing for their own terms of reference, developed directly with families. They’ve been ignored on requests for confidential reports, calling the secrecy a betrayal of trust. With a decade of waiting, they won’t accept anything less than full transparency and accountability — or else they’ll take their case to opposition parties.
