Families affected by Children's Health Ireland (CHI) have raised concerns about the transparency and scope of a planned inquiry, stating it is not child-centered and is not addressing key issues like high infection rates and unnecessary surgeries.

• Two family advocacy groups wrote to the Minister for Health expressing concerns about the transparency and scope of the CHI inquiry.
• They claim the process is not child-centered and is failing to address issues like high infection rates and unnecessary surgeries at CHI.
• The groups feel the inquiry is not adequately considering unpublished internal CHI reports and has not met their expectations for a robust investigation.
