Little Harvey Martin, 9, suffers from an agonising curvature on his spine that requires immediate medical intervention
A nine-year-old boy has begged Nicola Sturgeon to sort out the NHS and help to end his pain because he “can’t take it anymore”.
“I’m in pain constantly, every day. My mum and dad are worried sick about me. If there is anything you could do to help that would be very much appreciated.” Top news stories today The delays in his treatment were raised at First Minister’s Questions almost three weeks ago but he is still no nearer getting his surgery. He said Sturgeon “needs to do something about this”.
Harvey’s parents fear that without his op soon some of the damage being done to his body may be irreversible. Mum Natalie, 44, and husband Paul, 51, spend every day hoping nothing catastrophic will happen. Natalie explained: “Everything is being pushed up. It is close to his heart, his kidneys, his liver and his lungs. Harvey is also waiting to go to see a respiratory consultant because he has a recurring cough.
Natalie said: “He was off school for two weeks because he just couldn’t tolerate his pain, he wasn’t sleeping and he was physically sick on Monday with the pain.” Natalie has emailed Sturgeon again but has not yet received a response, although the Scottish Government has asked her to sign consent forms in order that they can investigate it further with NHS Lothian. The operation will be performed at Edinburgh’s children’s hospital.
