A gentle reminder – “by the end of this year (2017) no child will wait longer for a scoliosis procedure than 4 months”. Aug 2018 and children continue to languish on lists. Do you still feel ashamed @SimonHarrisTD ? pic.twitter.com/PutIE9qCS9

Recorded March 6th 2017 – Minister Harris said no child will wait longer than 4 months for scoliosis surgery. 7th Aug 2018 – children continue to wait longer than 4 months for scoliosis surgery. No accountability, no communication to parents and children continue to deteriorate on surgery wait lists.
Meanwhile…
Min Harris, my son has been waiting 14 months for an URGENT spinal fusion. His scoliosis grows worse. He is severely disabled, so has no muscle tone to fight against the curve. It is crushing him inside, ribs hitting pelvic bone, etc. He needs the fusion in Sept! No more waiting!

Who knew a Fine Gael politician would lie?
sigh….If their lips are moving etc.
I wish people would stop believing what politicians say in the first place.
crafted strategic damage avoidance nonsense…same old
Sure it’s the childs fault he was born like this and that his parents don’t have the ridiculous amount of money needed to pay for it themselves. Definitely not the Td’s. Sure you can’t expect them to care about their lesser’s when they are busy thinking up new buzz words that make it seem like their not lying when really they are.
Harris is the worst for all talk no action. He has literally never done a thing. He’s talked and talked and talked, but never any action.
neck and neck with Ranelaghs finest I’d say
Everything’s a priority, so nothing’s prioritised.
and nothing gets done…..
Don’t worry, Simon will see you in court before he’ll see your kids getting medical care – it’s all he knows..
No worries. Sympathetic Simon has a plan. The suffering of those kids is a necessary evil to discourage people from having disabled kids in the future After all, the disabled are not in a position to enrich the landlords and the bankers so in Simons world they are no use at all.
