Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 January 2023
495. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Health the reason a decision has not been taken yet on the new National Children's Hospital; and if he has given any serious consideration given to naming it in honour of a person (details supplied). [2735/23]
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. I can advise the Deputy that consideration of this matter is ongoing.
