I am glad that the issue of the private paediatric practice has been clarified. I welcome that.

On the children's hospital and physical access to it, when the committee discussed the location of the facility, there was a great deal of emphasis on the road and the infrastructure. I accept that this is probably outside of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board's brief but are there plans to make it easier for people to access the hospital?
