Key Takeaways
Children's Health Ireland (CHI), the cornerstone of Irish paediatric healthcare, is facing an unprecedented crisis that reveals systemic failures in governance, clinical oversight, and organisational culture that directly impact patient care and safety.
Vulnerable children with specific birth defects continued to receive substandard care long after national policy dictated they should be moved to more appropriate facilities.
The toxic internal culture at CHI - characterised by professional rivalries, bullying, and leadership failures - has created an environment where patient safety concerns are routinely minimised or ignored.
There are serious concerns about CHI's ability to manage the New Children's Hospital, which is already plagued by massive cost overruns and a decade of delays.
The CHI crisis mirrors broader problems in Irish healthcare where governance structures fail to detect and address unethical practices until they reach catastrophic levels.
