Mick Barry (PBP), Cork North-Central

The case of Harvey Sherratt has been raised in the Dáil today. Can the Taoiseach give the House a guarantee that no other children were taken off the CHI scoliosis lists without consultation with or notification of their parents and if he cannot, will he investigate whether that was the case? Will he call for the publication of the Arthur Cox investigation into CHI’s management of issues surrounding the scoliosis crisis? Will the State cover the cost of insurance for bringing children with scoliosis to the United States for surgery? The State is refusing to do that and pressure is being put on the parents. Will the Taoiseach guarantee that the State will do that?
