Some children have been waiting for spinal procedures for 5 years.
The Government is being accused of not doing everything it can to help children waiting for life-altering spinal surgeries, according to an Offaly mum.
Tullamore's Amanda Coughlan's son, TJ, was diagnosed with spina bifida at birth, but was left too long on a waiting list and his condition has now become inoperable.
The government has previously voted down the idea of a scoliosis task force, while some of the children waiting for spinal procedures have been waiting for 5 years.
Ms. Coughlan, who's also the founder of the Paediatric Advocacy Group for Children with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus , says priority needs to be given to other children so they don't end up in the same position as TJ:
