Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 June 2012
165 Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health when he expects to make a decision on the location of the new children’s hospital; if he will publish the Dolphin review group report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28775/12]
View answerAs you will be aware, I established an independent Review Group to consider the implications of the decision of An Bord 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. During the course of its deliberations, the Group received submissions from many different Groups. The Group has now presented its report, which I intend to consider carefully before bringing to Government. I can assure the Deputy that it is my intention to publish the report in due course.
