Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

Yes, with the last patient being admitted at 10 p.m. To be clear, we have done a great deal of healthcare planning on attendances at our existing hospitals to see when children come, how long they stay and the reasons for their visits. This is based very much on the evidence and on the advice of the clinicians working on planning.
