Boy denied HSE care costing just €300 a week
A premature baby, he was born with a hole in his heart and chronic lung problems. A brain bleed at birth left him suffering from quadriplegic cerebral palsy, profoundly deaf and unable to speak.
Up to his birthday on September 12, JJ and his family, from Scallagheen in Tipperary town, received support from the Jack and Jill Foundation.
