Ireland to launch public inquiry into child spinal care after boy’s death on waiting list.
The Irish government will establish a statutory public inquiry into the care of children with scoliosis and spina bifida, with families helping shape its terms of reference.
This follows the death of nine-year-old Harvey Sherratt, who died after years on a waiting list for spinal surgery, during which his spinal curvature worsened significantly.
Tanaiste Simon Harris acknowledged that a 2017 pledge to limit wait times for treatment was not fully met, citing systemic issues within Children’s Health Ireland and prior health services.
A government memo outlining the inquiry’s intent will be presented to Cabinet, with a facilitator to ensure family voices are central.
Parallel clinical improvements are also being advanced.
