This is your legacy, Simon Harris TD. Broken promises to children in excruciating, treatable pain.
Stephen Donnelly Simon Harris TD you both promised 4 month targets for spina bifida/scoliosis care but never delivered
Trust is broken you can rebuild by giving medical opinions for our complex children that is independent of Children's Health Ireland
You can do this straight away 🏎️💨
Stephen Donnelly your watch, your job? Nobody else is queuing for #Health but this does not excuse Department of Health
European Commission please intervene. Billy Kelleher MEP Barry Andrews MEP

#scoliosis delays will be all resolved according to Stephen Donnelly once the NCH opens yet staff on the ground report to parents many do not intend making the move.
Simon Harris TD whats your plan for scoliosis/spina bifida care NOW ?
Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paediatric Advocacy
There won’t be enough staff to open the hospital
There’s no workforce plan

The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs Catherine Connolly Simon Harris TD Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paediatric Advocacy The quietist, most decent person you will meet any day on the streets of Galway. A fierce campaigner on issues that effect ordinary people. A replica of Dr. Noel Browne when it comes to justice and health issues. Would be wasted in the Aras.
Simon Harris TD Hey Simon Harris TD does that mean you’ll *finally* stick to your promises for children living with scoliosis?
Simon Harris TD Rishi Sunak You have urgent business here.
Rishi has enough to be getting on with looking at the tories electoral wipeout.

National Patient Safety Office Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paediatric Advocacy I hope new Taoiseach who is well aware of situation will do something for these children to expedite care ! 🙏
Stephen Donnelly your remit? Your responsibility? ⬇️ This is not going away Fianna Fáil Micheál Martin and rightly so. Decent people are appalled. #Fix_It The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs ignored too long. #Shame
The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs Catherine Connolly Simon Harris TD Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paediatric Advocacy Catherine Connolly is amazing, this is what we need more of in politics.
Not the #ffg bluster & backhanded shenanigans.
Mick Caul Simon Harris TD
Taoiseach- you can and should make this a priority - “move mountains” for all the Children on waiting lists for spinal surgery.

He previously committed to the children waiting on spinal surgery that they would wait no longer than 4 months.

Simon Harris TD We also need a cabinet committee on cancer.
Ireland is failing patients.
Over 40k diagnosed each year.
Over 200k living with the disease.
Less than 2% access clinical trials.
Drug approval is the slowest in the EU.
Only patients with health insurance can access best treatments
