The Sherratt family understood that their son Harvey was to have an operation in August for scoliosis, but he is still waiting.

The six-year-old is being treated in Children's health Ireland (CHI) at Temple Street. His mother Gillian says she was frustrated to hear this week that three similar surgeries for other children were cancelled.
