National paediatric hospital legislation

Summary

Aengus Ó Snodaigh asks when legislation enabling the St. James's national paediatric hospital plans will appear; the Taoiseach says it is being prepared but gives no date.

Last year, the Taoiseach announced the new national paediatric hospital would be located in St. James's Hospital. The remit of the old national paediatric hospital development board ran out on 5 December and new legislation is due, which would give effect to the plans. When is the Bill due?

I do not have a date for publication. The legislation is being worked on. Obviously, there is a requirement to introduce it quickly.
