The Mater and Children's Hospital development is the largest single capital development project in the health programme. The project involves the redevelopment of the Mater campus to include considerably expanded and improved facilities for the Mater itself, and the construction of new, purpose-built accommodation which will replace the Children's University Hospital, Temple Street. The project has full planning permission and will be ready to go to tender when the revenue costs and scope of the project have been agreed. These issues are being examined by the Health Service Executive.
