Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

The enhanced community care investment in the HSE has identified this as a requirement. Investment is planned this year. CHI can commit to working with our colleagues to try to put in those early interventions, because it should be based in the community. We will continue to commit and work to see if anything else can be developed with that investment to address that pressure in health service.
