3788. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Health whether the HSE or Children's Health Ireland have assessed alternative scoliosis treatments that have achieved documented spinal correction outcomes for children; if so, the findings of those assessments; the reasons such treatments are not routinely available within the public health system; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [57705/26]

As this is an operational matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
