The site for the new children’s hospital is owned by the HSE and is being made available to the new children’s hospital at no charge. The HSE has advised that in order to make the site available to the children’s hospital, the HSE acquired the freehold interest in a portion of the site at a cost of €110,000 plus legal fees, and land from Dublin City Council and CIE at a cost of €10,000 and €7,500 respectively.

The Deputy’s question regarding the issue of compensation or payment to consultants for the private outpatient building has been forwarded to the HSE for direct response.
