A comprehensive and inclusive process involving parents, children, staff and youth organisations was organised by the Children's Hospital Group to choose a name for the new entity to run the new children's hospital and associated outpatient and urgent care centres. I understand that hundreds of names were proposed and submitted for consideration through this process. The name selected for the new entity, Phoenix Children's Health, was announced on 23 October 2017.
