Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

The Deputy is touching on a challenge we have recognised. We started way back last year trying to plan to implement this. We do not want to take experienced personnel from one area resulting in a vacancy with associated risk. We have worked very closely with the management in the children's hospitals, with their direction, to risk-assess the staged approach of opening. We have identified the staff who have gone - well done if they have got promotions. If they have come from one particular area, we have looked at a staged release for them with their agreement. We have managed to go and at the same time do backfill-----
