Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Delays in Accessing Scoliosis Treatment and Surgery: Discussion
Mr. Connor Green:
Honestly, I do not know. As Professor McCormack says, I fight one day at a time and I try to get to Friday, and I try to spend some time with my family. My job is to look after children and I cancelled two clinics to be here today to advocate. Because we are here advocating today, 60 children are not being seen today.
Also, I do not know how long I can continue doing this. The reality is that - the Deputy hears about children's operations being cancelled - I am the one who has to go up and tell families that their operations are cancelled. I have asked management to do that and they will not do it. Why should I have to say that the hospital has failed to get them a bed?
