National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Lucy Nugent:

The board felt that it was a critical time for CHI and it was important to retain the institutional knowledge and experience of the previous CEO. She was appointed to the role of strategic programme director. Some of the roles encompass building on the all-island of Ireland network, which is important. We recently signed a service level agreement with Northern Ireland regarding managing young people with chronic pain. She is also looking at the benefits of co-location.
