Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

We have a legal remit and a policy remit but, as I have stated, if the policy changes, this is not a problem. We can implement the new policy. In paediatrics, the vast majority of our clinicians operate in the public system. It is a much smaller element of private healthcare in paediatrics than is the case with adult healthcare.
