Dan White’s daughter Emily had surgery on her #scoliosis last year, and it was deemed imperative by the surgeon that she had a new wheelchair specific to her recovery.
“We ordered the new wheelchair, we picked the colour, she was measured… we waited and we waited, we put in phone call after phone call,” Dan said.
Eventually Dan’s family was told that the parts needed to finish the chair were being held up: “We asked what the hold up was and he said one word, Brexit.”
He told James: “All my realisations and everything I’d been thinking about Brexit was confirmed.”
Her surgery is in danger of being undone because she’s stuck in a wheelchair that’s not fit for purpose. She’s in constant agony, purely because the spares and essentials needed to fix this chair are being held up across the border simply because of leaving the EU’s Single Market and Customs Union.
