Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

We are still working on that and we will communicate on it. It is done in a way that is safe and progressive and we will see how we can increase the provision. We have talked to our colleagues internationally who have done this. They have not gone with a big bang on the first day. In fact, they have built up their services over a period of time. Our intention is to do the same and we have some resources coming back that will help us in that regard. We are happy to communicate the plan when it is concluded.
