A young Midlands girl who was removed from a scoliosis waiting list after four years has been forced to travel to the US for urgent surgery.
Seven-year-old Roxanne Kelly from Carlow is one of a group of kids who were under the care of a consultant here, who is now under investigation.
New figures show 525 scoliosis surgeries on children were cancelled between 2022 and 2025.
Roxanne had previously travelled to Florida, where she had multiple surgeries on a rare condition called Arthrogryposis, because there wasn't anything doctors could do for her here.
Roxanne's mother, Mairin, says they've been forced to set up a fundraiser to get her back to Florida for more urgent surgery:
