#scoliosis
William Clooney speaks of his son Cathal who went in to Crumlin for a #scoliosis surgery … a surgery that should have helped him. Six weeks later, Cathal was dead. William is speaking out because Cathal’s death must be investigated and nothing short of a full public statutory inquiry will do. Please take the time to listen to William speak of his son Cathal.

The figures quoted by Simon Harris last night #LeadersDebate are misleading and selective. Simon Harris TD The number “35” only refers to children waiting for spinal fusions (end 2019), ignoring those waiting for other critical spinal #scoliosis surgeries. At our first meeting with him in 2016, we explained the different categories: •Spinal fusion: children waiting for definitive fusion surgery. •Spinal other: children waiting for growth rod implantation, lengthenings, or other essential procedures, often more urgent as they support growth in young children, including lung and heart development. Despite this, Harris consistently excludes these children from waiting lists and data. These are the youngest and most vulnerable patients, requiring repeated surgeries throughout their lives. Excluding them is unacceptable. When spinal “other” operations are included, end-of-2019 data shows 52 children waiting more than three months, as confirmed in a Parliamentary Question reply.

This is shocking. In a wealthy country like Ireland, our most vulnerable children are being neglected. A child with #scoliosis is losing weight and cannot access basic Public Health Nurse support. When we fail to get the basics right, we fail in care. And when we fail in care, children suffer. Ireland should never accept neglect as normal. Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD under your watch.
