In regard to the bloods in Connolly Hospital, what is the plan for the future in terms of all CHI's bloods? Will the bloods from this hospital be processed on-site in the new children's hospital? What is the long-term plan for Tallaght, Connolly and Temple Street hospitals in terms of lab work? I understand it is probably okay to take a taxi but it is probably not equitable or handy for people. I get that the results are online, but I do not think there is any substitute for having a lab in the same hospital that one can pop down to if one is in a panic for something.
