  1. It’s almost like they go out of their way to be cruel.

    Hard to know what to do about the absolute shambles FFG have made of our health system.

  2. I’m certain if someone could only let Harris know about the situation he can get it resolved by next weekend. Or at least make another meaningless media pronouncement about it.

    This is a national scandal !! These poor kids. It is not right and how this continues boggles my mind.

    This is what we need to do with our €8bn surplus, make sure there are no scoliosis kids waiting for surgery.

  5. Shocking for the poor child and family. The incompetence of the health “system ” and government is not shocking. This is ireland

  6. If only we had the money just lying around to get this sorted. A well. Scuk it up, kido, and don’t forget to tell your mammy and daddy to vote for us in the upcoming election.

  7. What is being done for the kiddo? I read ‘removed from surgery waiting list and put on priority as life threatening’ that how i so quickly read that!

    The people in power are there to serve themselves, not the people.

    Need a good old fashion riot

  9. >A CHI official told Ms Sherratt in an email dated August 30th that Harvey was no longer on the list “as per the Consultant’s clinical input from his previous appointments”.

    The article says an unnamed consultant took him off the list. Whether that’s true or not, that’s the explanation. I’m curious as to how that happened.
