Mother’s battle over son’s juvenile arthritis care
The then nine-year-old boy was initially diagnosed with a kidney infection but when the pain failed to go away, his doctor referred him to Cork University Hospital (CUH) in February for further investigation.
His mother Niamh felt little was done for him and he was sent home the same day. Two weeks later he was back at CUH, but no progress was made and he was sent home once more.
