To ask the Minister for Health when he expects to make a decision regarding the National Children's Hospital; if the Mater site is still the favoured site; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39263/12]

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 a national paediatric 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. In June, the Group presented its report, to which I have been giving careful consideration and which I intend to bring to Government shortly.
