Mr. David Moloney:
As the Deputy is aware, the national children's hospital and the national maternity hospital are, in the first instance, matters for the Minister for Health and the Department of Health. We have an oversight role in that regard. I do not anticipate that the OGP will have a role in respect of the national maternity hospital. It did not have a role in respect of the children's hospital, other than the chief executive officer being asked on a personal basis to be a member of the national paediatric hospital development board. The OGP as an organisation, however, did not have a specific role in that regard.
