Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Paediatric Hospital: Discussion

9:00 am

Dr. Peter Greally:

As I said earlier, I do not think anybody has ever done a clinical trial or reviewed the outcomes in care by comparing one system to another. Ethically, I do not believe it would be possible to do it. However, I point to the fact that newly built children's hospitals are rarely stand-alone now. The tri-location model is the norm. Stand-alone new builds for children's hospitals are the exception.
