Regarding the national paediatric hospital project, as you will be aware, I established an independent Review Group to consider the implications of the decision of An Bórd Pleanála, received on 23 February 2012, to reject the planning application for the proposed construction of the hospital on the site of the Mater Misericordiae Hospital. The aim of the Review was to consider all the possible options for the earliest possible delivery of a new children's hospital. The Group has now presented its report, which I intend to consider carefully before bringing to Government. Resources for the three existing children's hospitals relate to service delivery and I have asked the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy on this matter.
