The significant undertaking which is the children’s hospital project and programme shows the commitment of the Government to develop paediatric services for children and young people.

A clear name and identity are essential for identification purposes, to raise awareness of services, and imbue the hospital with positive messages and associations.

As the Deputy is aware, Children’s Health Ireland is undertaking a branding process for the new children’s hospital.

Children’s Health Ireland has advised that this process is at the commencement stage and to date no contract or costings have been agreed.
