A Co Waterford couple are shocked to have been given an MRI scan date of July 2024 for their daughter, who has an aggressive form of childhood arthritis.

Aoileann Uí Bheaglaoí, 11, had been on a 23-month waiting list for an initial diagnostic MRI scan in Crumlin Children’s Hospital when her appointment date, in November 2020, was cancelled due to Covid-19 disruptions.
