Harvey Sherratt, a boy with Spina Bifida, died in 2024 after a prolonged wait for scoliosis surgery, prompting his parents to demand a statutory inquiry.

The parents of nine-year-old Harvey Morrison Sherratt, who died after a prolonged wait for scoliosis surgery, will appear on RTÉ's The Late Late Show to call for a statutory inquiry into pediatric orthopedic services. Harvey, born with Spina Bifida and scoliosis, died in July 2024 after his spine worsened to a life-threatening 130-degree curve while awaiting surgery, despite a 2017 pledge that no child would wait more than four months. His family has criticized delays and raised concerns about Children's Health Ireland (CHI), which faces multiple controversies including unauthorized medical procedures and high rates of unnecessary surgeries. The parents have joined advocacy efforts, including a Dublin march, demanding accountability and systemic reform.
