It is very hard to know how you learn lessons if that kind of practice exists. I refer to lessons in terms of location. I completely understand this is not a function of the NPHDB, but we are going to be building a national maternity hospital when the census is telling us babies are not being born. It seems a lesson should be learned about location. One of the issues with this location has always involved people asking how sick children will get to the hospital. The Luas was pointed to as the means of doing that. Good luck with that if you have a sick child in the car.
