🐘 The elephant in the room is this: the #NTPF has had zero oversight of spinal and scoliosis initiatives/spending since 2017. Why? In the absence of oversight, @CHI_Ireland mismanagement & maladministration has caused enormous and lasting harm to children and families.

Harvey's parents are beyond extraordinary, they have been through so much preventable trauma and having lost their beloved boy, are still fighting for quality care for others. I'm so moved by their love & drive & hope @SimonHarrisTD can listen, learn & act. #JusticeforHarvey

Children's Health Ireland #CHI have consistently been given the oversight and the management of waiting lists. We have seen CHI allow non-medical grade devices be placed into children in CHI sites and we feel that at this point they have failed, they have failed repeatedly.
