The chief of the HSE has apologised to the parents of Harvey Morrison Sherratt for their experience of being “let down by the healthcare system”.

The case of the nine-year-old, who had scoliosis and spina bifida, has featured prominently in media reports and political debate over the summer and into the resumption of the Dáil.
