Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Acute Hospital Services: Discussion

11:15 am

Mr. Michael O'Flynn:

To revert to the Chairman's comment on the site for the proposed national children's hospital, as Deputies and Senators have pointed out, we have seen where things can go wrong with a structure that one would imagine could not have taken the time and given rise to such a number of issues. We should not just leave it and hope it will work. We should create a structure to ensure it works. We cannot afford a delay and we cannot afford not to get it right. I would not want to have it misunderstood. We need to ensure it has public approval. It needs political input and leadership to make it happen.
