Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion
Mr. Jim Breslin:
On the question about other hospitals, both the development board and the children's hospital group did extensive research on other paediatric hospitals. The design team recruited by the development board includes international expertise that delivered hospital facilities internationally. They visited those sites and also reviewed, in detail, the design they adopted, the adjacencies in terms of which departments fit best together and the facilities that have been put in.
