Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

I might let Mr. Woods expand on that but I assure the committee that Children's Health Ireland has been actively engaging with its clinical and management colleagues in Cork University Hospital and the South/South West Hospital Group. We have had joint meetings, one of which related to orthopaedics. A specific element of that was that we identified we can work collectively. I understand there is a plan and proposal as to how to develop paediatric services and ensure they are developed locally, within the region, to ensure that services required in Cork remain there. Mr. Woods may wish to add to that.
