Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 December 2020
637. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Health if he has considered naming the new children’s hospital in St. James’s Hospital after the pioneering Dr. Kathleen Lynn in recognition of her role in the delivery of the first children’s hospital in Ireland [39606/20]
View answerThe Children’s Health Act 2018 provided for the creation of Children’s Health Ireland, as the single new entity responsible for providing secondary and tertiary paediatric healthcare services, which are currently provided at four sites – Temple Street, Crumlin, Tallaght and Connolly. As was noted by my predecessor during the passage of this legislation through the Oireachtas, consideration will be given to a naming process. However, I can advise the Deputy there has not been detailed consideration given to this matter as yet.
