Only 60 of the more than 2,200 children caught up in the controversy over potentially needless hip dysplasia surgeries have been seen for a review of their care so far, the Oireachtas Health Committee will be told today.

Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) chief Lucy Nugent will say 105 appointments have been offered, and will acknowledge the “worry it has caused to many parents”.
