'He can't walk, he's crawling round on his knees half the time'
A Nottinghamshire boy is "in pain all the time" after an operation to address his foot deformity was cancelled twice due to strikes, his mum says. Jake Perttola, 11, has talipes, commonly known as club foot, a condition where the foot turns inwards.
"He was born with talipes and had an operation so it was all fine. Since Covid his feet started tightening up again because he wasn't going out as much. He started walking on his tiptoes and he's stayed like that," said the teaching assistant from Stapleford. She added that he was also unable to attend school, not even in a wheelchair, as it is deemed too dangerous to cross a bridge on the way. "He tried to go, it's only across the road but it took him half an hour to get home because he was hobbling," said Ms Watt.
"He was just about to go to school and they said they had another date. I said 'it's going to get cancelled again isn't it?' They said they can't guarantee that. The surgeon works one day a month and it falls on the day of the strikes so I asked to be referred."
