A powerful interview by @UnaKeightley @SBH_PAG (April â25) â well worth revisiting ahead of tonightâs RTĂ Prime Time at 9:35pm. Who from @CHI_Ireland will step forward to answer the tough questions? With a new spinal management business unit, new posts created, and layers of

đ 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.
Naas, St Michaelâs and Kerry hospitals paid consultants all NTPF money received for waiting-list schemes

@UnaKeightley asks "Have we as a society changed? ... are we willing to pretend that we do not see neglect &abuse to vulnerable cohorts of persons?" -her searching question needs asking & answering by every adult in the room esp. journalists & including elected reps. @rtenews

FOI after FOI shows that although administrators were brought in by @CHI_Ireland specifically to take minutes at co-design meetings for @SBH_PAG I attended with @mandacoughlan, CHI now claim they âcanât find any traceâ of said minutes So I put in a Data Access Request for CHI

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
Today, just over 2 weeks after Harveyâs passing we did receive a call from @SimonHarrisTD and we have tentatively agreed to meet however no date is yet set. We will have a specific list of things we will be demanding to protect the children that are still here and still depending

Pressure grows on the TĂĄnaiste @SimonHarrisTD to resign following the tragic death of 9-year-old Harvey Morrison Sherratt. In 2017, he made the commitment to families with children with scoliosis and spina-bifida that 'no child would wait longer than 4 months for surgery.' This

TĂĄnaiste Simon Harris is to meet with the mother of Harvey Morrison Sherratt, a nine-year-old boy who died last month and was subject to delays in accessing urgent scoliosis surgery https://t.co/29iCfJjIF4

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.

Consistently ourselves & @scolionetwork have advised that children are not prioritised on clinical need This "orphan" report categorically proves this It is true of scoliosis orthopaedic & urology services #backus in our call for a statutory inquiry into @CHI_Ireland
âThere is a continued withholding of information, claiming this to be a human resources report. The reality is very different,â says one patientsâ group about this report. Childrenâs Health Ireland wonât publish it. Here it is in full. https://t.co/fV8hVqyinE
