Minister for Health Leo Varadkar has confirmed that planning has been granted for a new national children’s hospital in Dublin. https://twitter.com/campaignforleo/status/725591557135581184 A planning application for the hospital was submitted to An Bord Pleanála last August and work can now progress on a project that is expected to be completed by 2020. The new children’s hospital will share a campus with St James’s Hospital in Dublin and will bring together the three existing children’s hospitals (Temple Street Children’s University Hospital, Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin and the National Children’s Hospital, Tallaght) to deliver the best care and treatments available under the one roof.
At a cost of €650 million, it represents the most significant capital investment project ever undertaken in healthcare in Ireland and promises a world-class physical environment, making it a much better experience for children and their families.
