Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Children's Hospital: Discussion
Ms Eilísh Hardiman:
We intend to deal with that issue. One does not design a new hospital to function and operate according to a system that is not functioning and operating to the best of its ability. We have identified as a priority replacing the very old MRI machines in both Crumlin and Temple Street hospitals. The HSE is working with us to meet that objective and management understands how helpful it would be to us. In addition, we are looking at changing working hours and how we can increase throughput.
