Parents ramp up pressure for statutory inquiry into CHI after protected disclosure on care of Harvey Morrison Sherratt

"Pressure is growing for the proposed inquiry into spina bifida and complex scoliosis services at Children's Health Ireland (CHI) to be statutory and held in public."

"It follows a protected disclosure by a CHI whistleblower in August that the late Harvey Morrison Sherratt (9), who suffered from spina bifida and scoliosis and waited in pain for nearly three years for spinal surgery, was "mistakenly taken off the waiting list because he was deemed to be in palliative care"."

Pressure is increasing for the proposed inquiry into spina bifida and complex scoliosis services at Children's Health Ireland to be statutory and held in public. The call follows a protected disclosure in August by a CHI whistleblower. The late Harvey Morrison Sherratt (9) had spina bifida and scoliosis and waited in pain for nearly three years for spinal surgery. He was mistakenly removed from the waiting list after being deemed to be in palliative care, which delayed access to necessary surgery. Advocates seek accountability, transparency, and a statutory public investigation into service and waiting-list failures.
