A young North Belfast boy with complex needs is constantly "screaming in agony" in hospital as he awaits treatment for a blocked bowel.
She says that her son has not been able to eat properly in days and is still waiting for a treatment plan despite being in hospital for two weeks. Seimone claims that her son is in need of urgent surgery but this has not been able to take place for a number of factors, including staff being off for bank holidays.
"Because of Rossa's complex needs, it seems that doctors have been more interested in them, than actually trying to find out what the problem has been. "He needs urgent surgery in order to remove this blockage but we are being told that there are no surgeons available and that staff being off over the weekend and Bank Holidays has been a factor in this.
The Belfast Trust has said that it is working with Rossa and his family and that his care is of "paramount importance".
