Mr. Damien McCallion:

They will generally be adjacent. For example, the Reeves centre is at the roundabout just outside Tallaght hospital. The hubs will need to be within reasonable proximity. Given that they are not doing highly acute inpatient work, though, they will have a protocol. For example, if someone has to go back into intensive care in the hospital, there will be a protocol with the ambulance service. They are generally close to major hospitals, but they do not need to be right beside them or on their campuses.
