Medical Negligence —

Orthopaedics

Ms. Anna Hegarty,

Secretary of the Litigation

Committee of Law Society,

Blackhall Place,

Dublin 7.

20th February, 1989

Dear Miss Hegarty,

I would like to inform the Law

Society that procedures have been

laid down by the Irish Institute of

Orthopaedic Surgeons with regard

to cases of alleged medical

negligence. Those procedures were

formulated at the Annual General

Meeting in 1985 and have

remained unchanged since. (The

vast majority of Orthopaedic

Surgeons in the Republic of Ireland

are members of the Irish Institute

of Orthopaedic Surgeons).

There is general agreement

among the Institute Members that

they should take on those cases

when requested to do so. A

Solicitor may approach any mem-

ber of the Institute asking him to

act on behalf of his client. The

Orthopaedic Surgeon in accepting

the case will nominate a colleague

who will examine the patient with

him and both Surgeons will then

issue a joint report. A fee for this

examination and report will be

agreed between the Solicitor and

the first Surgeon to be contacted.

If the Litigation Committee

requires any further information or

if that Committee wishes to meet

members of the Institute, appropri-

ate arrangements can be made.

Kind regards.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Joseph P. McGrath,

M.Ch

M.CH.Orth., F.R.C.S.E., F.R.C.S.I.,

Chairman,

Irish Institute of Orthopaedic

Surgeons.
