Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

There are extreme political arguments to be made on this issue and they are about children in the here and now. It is all very well to talk about what will or may happen if three paediatric hospitals in Dublin are brought together with economies of scale. However, I understand there has not even been a cost-benefit analysis on the bringing together of those hospitals. The work has not been done. Nothing has been done at this juncture apart from the planning of the tertiary hospital.
