#cervicalcheck After 5 1/2 years, my case against @HSELive & Quest Diagnostics have been settled in the High Court today for damages & costs. It has been a very long and stressful process - the culture and misogyny I have experienced has been very difficult to deal with

[Mick Caul @caulmick]

Not one contributor raised this front page story on #Brendan programme on @RTERadio1 this morning.

€725m bailout by the public purse and they couldn't mention Harvey Sherratt Morrison and Anita Little who informed the Minister about children being removed from waiting lists without their parents knowledge. Its not just the cabal in the health services that are failing Ireland’s children.

Shameful, stuff.

@Louisehassan4 @MaterTrauma Get better soon Louise 🤍

[Stephen Morrison @Stephen63224725]

Firstly, I want to thank Anita Little for being incredibly brave and for coming forward at such a significant personal cost. It has undoubtedly affected both her career and, I am sure, her mental well being.

Healthcare Whistleblowers from @BlowersIreland had a further meeting with Joe Ryan and his team, representatives of the @HSELive yesterday 11th of May 2026

It was a very constructive engagement, and we would like to thank Joe and his team for their time and openness in continuing this important dialogue.

For whistleblowers and those working in healthcare, trust in the Protected Disclosures process is vital. Constructive engagement between staff and leadership is the only way to ensure independence, credibility, and real accountability within the system.

We hope this meeting represents another step towards building a culture where concerns are not only heard but acted upon in a way that protects patients, staff, and the integrity of our health services.

For every child who’s been told “just live with it.”
For every family still searching for answers.
For every parent who has sat in appointment after appointment, begging someone to listen.

This young woman right here?
She’s standing for something so much bigger than herself.

Katie is standing for every child with a disability who has been left waiting.
Every child whose pain was brushed aside.
Every family who had to fight for answers they should never have had to beg for.

Katie has cerebral palsy, a dysplastic hip, a twisted femur, a retroverted pelvis and a labral tear.
She is in pain, but she is still fighting.

And now we are fighting to get her to Florida for the surgery that could change her life.

Please help us get Katie there.
Donate if you can.
Share if you can’t.
Because Katie’s fight is not just about one young woman.
It is about being heard.
It is about hope.
It is about refusing to give up.

[The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs @scolionetwork]

What has actually changed, @CarrollJennifer ?

A consultant allegedly telling parents to email management themselves to push for urgently needed surgery is extraordinary.

Why is the burden of escalation being placed on families?

If a clinician believes delay is unsafe, why is that not being formally escalated internally through governance and patient safety systems?

Parents should not be acting as intermediaries between surgeons and management while children wait for surgery.

Meanwhile nurses are leaving, families are distressed, and children continue to deteriorate on waiting lists.

And while children continue to deteriorate on waiting lists, Lucy Nugent is offering families tours of the new children’s hospital.

The level of detachment is staggering.

@AnybodyButBerti @MayaSharma2021 So sorry you were treated so poorly Maya, well done 🤍

[Roberta Horgan 🇮🇪 @HorganRoberta]

In the near future I believe there'll be a reliable screening test to catch #OvarianCancer early. In the meantime all we have is symptom recognition to aid early detection. Every woman must know the #BEAT symptoms.

Do you know them?

[CM Haughey Solicitors @CMHaughey]

Cancer experts have warned that over 80% of Ireland's radiotherapy machines need immediate or imminent replacement, with little or no active planning to do so.
@FergalBowers

They said the consequences of ageing machines impact directly on patients, with breakdowns resulting in missed radiation treatments, delayed treatments and longer treatments.
