The Taoiseach, Professor Brendan Drumm and I met with the leaders of the Protestant Churches and representatives of the Adelaide Hospital Society on 28 June 2006 to discuss a number of issues relating to the Adelaide and Meath Hospital incorporating the National Children's Hospital, Tallaght. The delegation expressed concern at the implications for the National Children's Hospital of the recent Government decision to endorse the development of a single national tertiary paediatric hospital on a site to be made available by the Mater Hospital at Eccles Street, Dublin 1. A number of other matters relating to the provision of hospital services at Tallaght were also discussed.
The delegation submitted a document proposing a wide range of service developments at the hospital over the next 10 years. It was agreed that the proposals, which have very significant resource implications, would be examined by my Department and the Health Service Executive.
