According to the spinal waitlists, the number of children waiting over 6 months has come down since the 2017 promise. Which in theory sounds positive, but I would love to see how the number of children being deemed ‘not fit for surgery’ compares. How many children are being

@autisticbab @CHI_Ireland @SimonHarrisTD @CarrollJennifer @BernardGloster Well it’s very hurtful as a mother. That your child is not worthy of communication or a reply. I wrote and was signposted to TAS despite there being a outsourcing agreement in place. That shows the absolute dysfunction & lack of understanding of the needs of our children

We seem to keep putting all our faith in ‘clinical decisions’. A reminder @1Hildegarde that ‘clinical decisions’ led to: - non CE approved devices being implanted in to children’s spines - unnecessary hip surgeries potentially performed on hundreds or thousands of children -

Very hard to stomach this debate when our son is left abandoned on a wait list for his #scoliosis surgery. @CHI_Ireland Wait listed 14 Nov ‘24 No option for treatment abroad ever offered. Something stinks & children are paying the price. @SimonHarrisTD @CarrollJennifer

This is the speech I made in the Dáil yesterday, the impact waiting lists have on my life and how I’m still in chronic pain daily! Please take the time to read and know the real effects delayed care has on a persons life. #scoliosis @scolionetwork
On the day the Dáil holds a confidence vote in @SimonHarrisTD, we must acknowledge the human cost of delayed care. Kira Carberry — who took part in the RTÉ Investigates documentary Living on the List 2017 — spoke at yesterday’s Dáil briefing. Below is her full speech. Good

Today we were 1 of 3 families who spoke about the death of their child under CHI.We listened to children and adults who told their stories going through the system. We heard from parents who were reported to @tusla for speaking out by staff at CHI. Today CHI lost all credibility.

CHI keeps failing these children non stop even after all this time! #scoliosis
@SimonHarrisTD made the 4-month promise after “living on the list.” @scolionetwork Our child featured then. He was failed then & is being failed again by @CHI_Ireland. Despite ability to travel, no options offered – just left waiting. #scoliosis @CarrollJennifer @BernardGloster

Well done @UnaKeightley & Ciara - ❤️ Powerful mothers. @CarrollJennifer how easy would it be to act on these asks today ? 1️⃣ Chair scales in every CDNT and Primary Care Centre. 2️⃣ Food provided for all new mothers transferred to @CHI_Ireland with their sick babies.
Ciara Dunne and I will be on @IrelandAMVMTV tomorrow morning As Ciara says talking about scoliosis, disability and advocacy #JusticeForHarvey
