North Devon parents fear daughter could end up in a wheelchair due to Covid treatment delay

She is an active child but becomes frustrated when she cannot keep up with her friends or play as they do.
The High Bickington youngster is under North Devon District Hospital, but the family have struggled to get appointments, even before Covid, but Brenda said the pandemic took things ‘to a whole new level’.
She said: “Eventually we had a face-to-face appointment at the end of September in which it was suggested Emilia was ‘functioning really well’ having been observed walking up and down a lovely, flat and even hospital corridor surface for two minutes.
“Another splint was ordered and we were informed that it would be sent to our GP practice and we would yet again be left to fit it ourselves. This splint has never arrived to us.
