Minister urged to act on scoliosis waiting lists

The father of a girl so profoundly disabled that she can only communicate with her eyes has written to the health minister asking him for a meeting to discuss the growing scoliosis waiting lists.

Aaron Daly travelled to Leinster House for 7am yesterday in an effort to hand-deliver to Health Minister Simon Harris a letter outlining the worsening plight of his 12-year-old daughter Sophia, as well as the plight of 188 other children in need of spinal surgery.
