Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 May 2012
181 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health the extent to which he has received advice in regard to the location, extent of service and size of the proposed new children’s hospital; when he expects to finalise the decision making process; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs you will be aware, I established an independent Review Group to consider the implications of the decision of An Bord Pleanála received on 23 February 2012 to reject the planning application for the proposed construction of a national paediatric hospital on the site of the Mater Misericordiae Hospital.
The Review Group will, as part of their review, consider all issues relevant to the location of the new children's hospital. I will await the completion of the Group's work and do not wish to make any further comment on the matter at this time.
