Families Withdraw Over Flawed Inquiry

Families of children with spina bifida and scoliosis are staging a major protest against a government inquiry they say is fatally flawed — nearly 900 families have withdrawn from the process, demanding a truly transparent, child-centered investigation. While the health minister urges cooperation with the appointed facilitator, Remy Farrell, and insists a statutory inquiry is still on the table, parents fear critical evidence will be excluded. Frustration mounts as the paediatric spinal taskforce remains inactive since last fall, with meeting minutes still unapproved — leaving families determined to fight for accountability, even if it means escalating to legal action or further protests.
