A six-year-old girl has been left with two dislocated hips because of a long wait for scoliosis surgery, the Dáil has heard.

Following revelations earlier this week about the long wait endured by 10-year-old Cork boy Adam Terry, Social Democrats co-leader Róisín Shortall raised the issue of a young girl named Rosie, who was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus and who has been diagnosed with epilepsy and scoliosis.
