View answerOur Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, a company limited by guarantee, owns the site and hospital at Crumlin. The new children's hospital on the campus shared with St James's Hospital, is scheduled to become operational in 2022. Until such time as all inpatient services transfer to the new hospital, they will continue to be provided in the facilities on the site of Our Lady's Children's Hospital Crumlin.
