View answerAs of 1 January 2019, Children's Health Ireland (CHI) governs the provision of paediatric services in Dublin at the Crumlin, Temple Street and Tallaght, and at the new outpatient and urgent care centre on the campus of Connolly Hospital.
Under the legislation establishing CHI, the boards of Crumlin and Temple Street hospitals voluntarily transferred their assets and liabilities to the new entity. As such, the Crumlin hospital campus has transferred to Children's Health Ireland. Future uses for the Crumlin campus, following the transfer of services to the new hospital on the shared campus with St James's, have not yet been determined.
