Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has called on Tánaiste Simon Harris to meet with the parents of nine-year-old Harvey Morrison Sherratt from Clondalkin in Dublin, who died last month following many delays in accessing urgent scoliosis surgery.

Joining Kieran to discuss this is Tony Foley, father of Ronan Foley, who waited for three years for surgery for his scoliosis which he finally received in 2020 and Catriona Phelan, mum of 11-year-old Brianna Phelan Somers was born with myelomeningocele spina bifida and scoliosis and had her treatment abroad.
