Lynn Harrison said her daughter Tammy, now aged 14, has been left “absolutely petrified of Addenbrooke’s” after her surgery.
It left her with one leg shorter than the other, needing corrective surgery, feeling “mentally scarred” and dealing with “lost mobility”.
Harrison described waiting for the report as “like a grey cloud over all our heads”, so was bitterly disappointed at news of its delay.
Tammy, who has cerebral palsy, agreed, saying: “I think the sooner it comes out the better because everyone should know; maybe this report can help and get closure on it all.”
Harrison added: “We want this over with; we want to be able to move on with our lives and live some form of normality and put this behind us, and they’re just prolonging our pain.
“If they’d done their job properly, and a thorough job in the first place, we wouldn’t be here.”
A CUH spokesperson said Kennedy had advised the trust that his report was now due early next year, adding the timeline was “unfortunately beyond our control”.
They added: “We are sorry this is later than originally expected. We know patients and families have already waited a long time for this report, and we recognise the impact of this further delay.
“We have written to affected patients and families to update them and apologise.”
It will provide the latest information about the timetable for Kennedy’s report and its publication in November.
