Lynn Harrison said her daughter Tammy, now aged 14, has been left “absolutely petrified of Addenbrooke’s” after her surgery.<\/p>\n
It left her with one leg shorter than the other, needing corrective surgery, feeling “mentally scarred” and dealing with “lost mobility”.<\/p>\n
Harrison described waiting for the report as “like a grey cloud over all our heads”, so was bitterly disappointed at news of its delay.<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“If they’d done their job properly, and a thorough job in the first place, we wouldn’t be here.”<\/p>\n
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”.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
“We have written to affected patients and families to update them and apologise.”<\/p>\n
It will provide the latest information about the timetable for Kennedy’s report and its publication in November.<\/p>\n
