Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

The total number of beds accounted for will be 473. In addition, there will be 24 short stay beds in the emergency department and the urgent care centres. As these patients are currently being admitted to the hospitals, we do not count them. Therefore, the increase in capacity will be 31 new beds, as well as the 24 short stay beds. That is the new model of care.
