National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018

9:00 am

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

That is correct. However, there is a plan to take a network approach to the delivery of services. What is part of our job is all of the national services. We are the only hospital in the system that has all of the national services in one organisation. The sickest children, who comprise 25%, are all in our group. A very sick baby in Cork who needs intensive care will come to us. Children with complex and chronic illnesses or a rare disease come to us. We deal with all of the national services, as well as some for Northern Ireland. In addition, we provide secondary care in the greater Dublin area.
