Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board
Dr. Emma Curtis:
In terms of design of the emergency department, there is a common waiting area and a triage office located directly off it. There are many more triage rooms that are currently in place. Patients are triaged through the waiting area and directed to various clinic rooms. There are 56 clinic examination rooms, which is a huge increase in terms of what we have now in the emergency department at Crumlin hospital.
