Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

To be clear, all of our outpatient areas are off the concourse and each has an entrance. That is how the outpatient suites are planned out. One of them has nine rooms and that is the private clinic. There is an entrance to it and it is the same for all the rest of them. They are designed like modules in order that we can have flexibility. It is not the case that, for example, in the middle of an outpatient suite one room would be private. There are nine rooms that are off the concourse like everywhere else.
