Adam Terry recovering 'better than we ever thought' after scoliosis surgery

Surgeons appearing before the Oireachtas Health Committee today have blasted the availability of care for children with scoliosis as 'completely inadequate'

Adam Terry described his pain as 'paralysing'.

Ten-year-old Adam Terry is recovering "better" than was ever imagined, his mother has said, but she has warned there is a long road ahead for her son.

The issue of wait times for orthopaedic surgery was thrust into the limelight again in recent weeks when the story of the 10-year-old from Whitechurch made national headlines on budget day in early October.
