National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018

9:00 am

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

We have transition services. If they are local, they will transition to the local services. That means they will go to any of the hospitals in the greater Dublin area. For those in receipt of specialist care, we have transition arrangements with some of the adult hospitals that have specialists for rare diseases, for example. We have a lot of connections with St. James's Hospital around cancer and haematology because it has the national adult services in those areas. That is how we work.
