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.

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:
