So tomorrow the Dáil finally resumes. To all politicians heading in tomorrow, please keep Harvey at the forefront of your mind. Think of all the children languishing and suffering on the waitlists in @CHI_Ireland . Think of all the children at home in pain because they can’t get their health care needs met, or even the basic equipment they need to support their growing bodies. Think of all the children at home because yet again, we can’t provide the school places they need. The mistreatment of our disabled children needs to finally come to an end. No longer will we be quiet and accept the bare minimum. These children deserve so much better than they have been given. This is something that will absolutely be my red line coming in to the presidential election and it should be yours too.
🚫Despite @SimonHarrisTD writing to us and @SBH_PAG with a commitment to meet, he has failed to follow through.
🚫259 children are currently waiting for scoliosis surgeries, with some children now suspended on the list for over 18 months.
🚫Outsourcing highlights the state’s failure to deliver safe and timely care.
🚫He misled the public on TV about the number of children waiting over four months for scoliosis surgery. Fact checked by @DavidMacRedmond@thejournal_ie
🚫He travelled to our home county and chose photo ops over real engagement.
