Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
1288. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Health if he and or the NPHDB and or the Children's Hospital Ireland will open a public consultation in respect of the name that will be applied to the national paediatric children's hospital in advance of it opening. [36456/23]
View answerThe New Children’s Hospital project remains the most significant capital investment programme undertaken in the healthcare system in Ireland. It will provide world-class, state of the art facilities where our healthcare professionals will deliver optimal care, leading to better health outcomes for all. This is a much-needed and much-deserved investment in our children and young people.
I acknowledge the importance of the naming of the New Children’s Hospital, which is a key enabler in the strategic reform of healthcare services for children and young people for generations to come.
Children’s Health Ireland is undertaking a branding process, following which the Government will be making a decision on the naming of the New Children’s Hospital in due course.
