Harvey was allegedly labelled as ‘palliative’ despite three separate surgeons all recommending surgery. Harvey was never linked to a palliative care team, nowhere in his medical records is he referred to as palliative, and nobody ever even uttered the word to us. He was not palliative, he was removed from a list with zero treatment plan in place. Now that government and the HSE are (finally) looking for answers, @CHI_Ireland appear to be uncooperative, further proving that this inquiry needs to be a public independent statutory where CHI will be compelled to cooperate. If Harvey was given appropriate treatment, if everything is above board, why do we still not have answers?? #JusticeForHarvey #StatutoryInquiryNow #NoChildWaiting @Stephen63224725 @CarrollJennifer @MaryLouMcDonald @SimonHarrisTD @SBH_PAG @BernardGloster @HSELive @SocialistParty @AontuIE @sinnfeinireland @caulmick @CMHaughey @labour @SocDems

We fought for Harvey at 12 weeks pregnant when we got the diagnosis. We fought for Harvey at 36 weeks pregnant when they suggested withdrawing medical care at birth. We fought for Harvey when we found out he had severe scoliosis and had only been linked to an orthopaedic surgeon that deals with feet. We fought for Harvey when they dismissed my concerns around allergies-later diagnosed as anaphylactic. We fought for Harvey when they tried to provide a buggy instead of a wheelchair. We fought for Harvey when he had delays getting a suitable hospital bed for home. We fought for 5 years to get him a speech device so he could communicate. We fought for him to get scoliosis surgery. We fought for answers when we found out he was removed from the surgical list. Harvey is now gone and we will continue to fight for him, and for the other children and families facing these unnecessary and cruel battles. We fight because Harvey deserved better and we fight because that is what Harvey always did. If government or CHI think we will ever be quiet and just accept what has been allowed happen, they simply haven’t been paying attention. #JusticeForHarvey #NoChildWaiting #StatutoryInquiryNow @CarrollJennifer @SimonHarrisTD @CHI_Ireland @MichealMartinTD @SBH_PAG @scolionetwork @Stephen63224725

Day 49 - Hunger Strike at #Dáil @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD @Paschald @HMcEntee @CarrollJennifer @OCallaghanJim @NormaFoleyTD1 @DarraghOBrienTD @daracalleary Four survivors of residential abuse Miriam Moriarity Owens, Mary Donovan, Mary Dunleavy Green and Maurice Patton O'Connell - are on the 49th day of their hunger strike and their health continues to deteriorate. "We are looking for the HMAC card and the contributory pension. It's not a lot. The difference in the pension is €28 a week and there are only 4,000 survivors in the country.
