On 18th September Simon Harris TD promised to meet with myself and Stephen to discuss Harvey’s lack of care. 10 months on and that meeting never happened, and now Harvey is gone. On the day we were celebrating Harvey’s short life and saying our final goodbyes, he was posting


It’s almost like we have been shouting that we were worried this would happen #JusticeForHarvey Simon Harris TD Children's Health Ireland Micheál Martin Stephen Morrison Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paeds Advocacy#backus The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs


I join others in calling for a full public inquiry into the care of children living with Spina Bifida and Scoliosis by Children's Health Ireland. How many kids like Harvey have died in the last decade because they were made to wait too long for care. That's my own question #JusticeForHarvey

Not a word from you about Harvey Taoiseach Micheál Martin - your quick to say the opposition 'doesn't have a monopoly on compassion,' but where is yours for a boy whose country failed him? Why is your government failing so many children with scoliosis ? #JusticeForHarvey

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD you can't say you never knew about what was going on. You protected Children's Health Ireland at every turn. #JusticeForHarvey #publicinquirynow

These delays and the absolute mismanagement of Children's Health Ireland and the scoliosis and spina bifida care meant that Harvey was left to deteriorate on a wait list for 33 months. We need to make sure that no more children will suffer in the same way that he did. That we see real change




We & Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paeds Advocacy#backus could see the discrepancies in Children's Health Ireland scoliosis waiting list figures - but instead of informing parents, they were brushed under the carpet. Bernard Gloster We raised our concerns with the #NTPF. We contacted the Spinal Business Management Unit - the team





📢Call to Action 📢All extra funds will be Donated to St Joseph's School who looked after Harvey during his short life. And from the bottom of mine and Gillian Sherratt hearts Thank you to everyone who has amplified Harvey's voice.


I'm still investigating Children's Health Ireland. I still need people with information on wrongdoing and cover-ups to come forward. Please contact me on Signal +353 (89) 975 3779
