The mother of Harvey Morrison Sherratt, aged nine, who died after waiting several years for scoliosis surgery, has called for a protest march on Saturday in his name to be peaceful.

His death follows that of Dollceanna Carter, 10, in September 2022 after having eight operations in four months for spina bifida and scoliosis under Children’s Health Ireland. Her case and others form part of a still ongoing external review commissioned by the HSE in 2023.
