Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Tracey Conroy:
No. As set out under a statutory instrument, the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board has operational responsibility to build, design and equip the hospital and oversees the entirety of the project and programme because, as we have stated, it is not just about a capital project but rather the integration of the three existing children's hospitals and the provision of services. That is overseen by the children's hospital programme and project board, which is chaired by the Secretary General.
