Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Colm Desmond:
In fairness it was always envisioned that it would take place towards the middle of the national development plan because there are significant new departures that derive from the needs identified in Sláintecare, for example, and the overall consideration of capacity. It is certainly a significant area of planning that requires early consideration, I agree.
