I am aware that a business case for the establishment of a dedicated centre for Intestinal Failure was prepared by St. James’s Hospital. Any proposals for the funding for the centre for intestinal failure in St. James's, including children with intestinal failure transitioning from the national paediatric unit at Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, will have to be considered as part of the Hospital Group’s overall priorities for services across the Group with regard to competing priorities for resources available in 2018.
