Public Accounts Committee

National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Lucy Nugent:

We have been working in conjunction with the Health Service Executive colleagues on day one staffing numbers. Obviously, there are the existing staff who will move over and then there is the additionality. As I mentioned previously, we are opening three additional theatres in the first phase and an 80-bed NICU, and we are staffing these to international best standards. We have had very positive engagement in that regard and we are hoping to conclude that exercise at the end of this month.
