Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 May 2012
178 Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health the discussions or contacts he or any member of his staff have had in relation to locating the new national paediatric hospital at lands at Belcamp, County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26048/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs you will be aware, I have established an independent Review Group to consider the implications of the decision of An Bórd 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 aim of the Review is to consider all the possible options for the earliest possible delivery of a new children's hospital and the Group will present its findings on each of the possible options for my consideration. I will await the completion of the Group's work before making any further comment on the matter.
