Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

We have been working with the HSE in respect of the funding for 2021 to see where we can extend facilities. Our greatest capacity challenges currently lie with theatres, radiology and some of our outpatient services. We have already secured funding, through the winter plan, to increase some of those services. That is what Dr. Martin was referring to. We are optimising the facilities and using them better. We are sweating the new assets a little more. We are fortunate because they are able to facilitate the Covid-19 guidance.
