The National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (NPHDB) has statutory responsibility for planning, designing, building and equipping the new children's hospital (NCH).

In January 2013, officials from the Department of Health and the HSE were appointed to the Board on an interim basis (Chair and 5 members) to ensure continued governance and decision-making for the project while consideration was being given to appointing Board members with the necessary skills and competencies.
