Harvey’s removal from that spinal list was entirely cruel and unjustified. It feels like he was written off by the people who were supposed to be keeping him safe. 2 years now since he was removed and almost a year now since he died and we still have no answers from CHI. I find it incredibly concerning that the same person who removed Harvey from that list is still working away and making clinical decisions about other vulnerable children. How do we know he hasn’t continued to behave like this even after Anita left?View quoted post on X
Have the other families of children wrongfully removed even been informed by CHI? Did they get relisted? Are they still under the care of the same person that instructed their removal?
This inquiry needs to uncover everything, if they try and limit the scope of ot then they are choosing to allow children continue to be neglected.

'I blew the whistle on Harvey case at CHI' ✍️ Maeve Sheehan
A former manager at Children's Health Ireland (#CHI) has revealed she is the whistleblower who flagged concerns around Harvey Morrison Sherratt's care.
Anita Little, a former spinal services business manager, who settled a legal employment dispute with CHI last week, told the Sunday Independent: "Yes, I can confirm I am the whistleblower."
She said she made a protected disclosure to the Health Minister after it came to her attention that Harvey who suffered from complex scoliosis and spina bifida, had been inexplicably removed from the waiting list. He died, aged nine. last July.
"I felt the Minister for Health had the power to find out what happened with Harvey" she said. "I was also aware that his parents did not know he had been removed from the waiting list which is just absolutely outrageous."
Standing by the allegations she made in a protected disclosure, which was sent to the minister last August 31, Ms Little said she is willing to testify at the statutory inquiry or any inquiry.
"There are patients at risk due to suboptimal processes, lack of transparency, communication and waiting-list management practices at CHI."
In a statement to the Sunday Independent, Ms Sherratt [@GillSherratt23] said the family still has no answers, two years after Harvey was removed from the waiting list.
Ms Sherratt added the scope of the inquiry must be “wide” and “deep” enough “to truly uncover everything that’s been allowed to go on at CHI”.

€13.5 million spent on international outsourcing 2024/2025.
19 surgeries completed.
An average expenditure of €711,587 per surgery.
This was never an open access fund for children in need of care. It was a @CHI_Ireland controlled pathway that many families were never offered, while others could not access it because CHI had not even placed their child on a waiting list. @CarrollJennifer
The result?
Millions spent. A small number of children treated. Many others left behind.
Where is the accountability for that?
