Children's Health Bill 2018
Public bill · Government · Presented
Children’s health services are being brought together under a new public body called Children’s Health Ireland, which will plan and deliver specialist hospital care for children across the country and more routine acute care in the Dublin area. Staff, land, property, contracts, rights, liabilities and records from Crumlin, Temple Street, parts of Tallaght Hospital, and some Health Service Executive functions would move to that body, while the board overseeing the new children’s hospital project would be adjusted and eventually dissolved. It matters because it creates one national centre for highly specialised children’s care, with a single structure to manage the move to the new hospital and related services.
