This in now in the territory of human rights breaches, cruel, inhumane, degrading treatment of an Irish child. #HelpHarvey Simon Harris TD / Micheál Martin

As parents and part of the Scoliosis Advocacy Network, we were deeply disturbed by An Taoiseach’s angry response to Mary Lou McDonald in the Dáil yesterday. His frustration was misdirected at her, not the system that has failed children like Harvey. It’s not Simon Harris TD role

Please request your local TDs and Senators to attend and show their support.

⁉️How many children are waiting on a #scoliosis surgery in Ireland today ? ⁉️ 🚩We don’t know as Children's Health Ireland have stopped publishing wait lists.🚩 🚫They are also refusing to answer parents queries about their child’s wait list status 🚫 Enabled by Stephen Donnelly

**And right now, children are suffering.** **Future babies, born with medical complexities, will suffer.** **Children still awaiting diagnosis, will suffer.** This impacts every one of us. The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs #BackUs

Standing room only at the presentation from OrthoKidsIreland The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paediatric Advocacy organised by Mary Lou McDonald As Tommy said he has ‘lived his whole life on a waiting list’ These are the people who are impacted by Simon Harris’ broken promises They deserve so much better

Parents don’t want any more empty promises! We want care for these young people and children with scoliosis and spina bifida, because that is what they are entitled to!

“I’ve spent my whole life on waiting lists” - blown away by 14-year-old Tommy in Leinster House today calling for action to tackle spinal surgery waiting lists and pressing politicians for action. thesun.ie/news/13887639/…

thesun.ie/news/13887639/… The family-led groups are urging the Health Minister and Taoiseach to publicly express confidence in the board at Children’s Health Ireland — and disband the board if they can not do this.

Tommy Long advocacy today for other children was a heroic act. But it shows that there is a massive issue within our society. When children have to speak out for other children it means that adults are failing. Stories were told today. No one can say they didn't know.

It seems Simon Harris TD missed the memo. An Taoiseach promised to meet us & Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paediatric Advocacy - just like he promised no child would wait more than 4 months for scoliosis care by the end of 2017. He doesn’t tend to keep his promises. We await a date to meet with you, Simon Harris TD,

We await an invitation for what we asked for & were promised. A meeting with An Taoiseach.

Use the 9 million to fly the 241 children on the #Scoliosis waiting list to the USA and end their torture.

The reality is Simon Harris TD isn’t working with affected families. Parents don’t trust him after his broken promises on timely care, enabling Children's Health Ireland to evade accountability while children become inoperable. Stephen Donnelly can’t affirm confidence in the CHI board, yet

Families and children are not happy with Simon Harris TD response on this national crisis for our children.

There were 50 kids waiting in 2014 and at the time that was viewed as dangerous there are now....well we don't know because you refuse to publish them but at least 287. You think that you have helped the situation Simon Harris TD? You talk about the clinical voice, there has been

Two of the children waiting for #Scoliosis surgery. They were good enough for a photo opportunity in 2016 when Simon Harris TD made promises to ALL children waiting for surgery. Now he acts with petulance when reminded of his failure. He is Taoiseach & represents all of us
