A Cork boy who has spent years waiting for scoliosis surgery has finally received a provisional date for his operation following several heartbreaking pleas to the Government.
It comes after a letter from Adam Terry detailing his struggles was read in the Dáil by Labour Leader Alan Kelly.
Despite assurances that he would undergo surgery last year, Adam’s mother Christine was told in February that they would have to wait at least another nine months.
The family have now been given a provisional date of October 29 for Adam's operation at Crumlin, however if an emergency comes in or they don't have an ICU bed then it will be cancelled.
