Children’s hospital development Bill
The Deputy asks about progress on legislation for the children’s hospital development board. The Taoiseach says the heads have not been approved but a strategy and publication timetable will be set out shortly.
To what degree has the children's hospital development board Bill been advanced? Have the heads been improved on and when is it expected the Bill might be brought before the House in preparation for the logistical process of progressing the development?
Comment on this
The heads of the Bill have not yet been approved. I met the hospital development board and other associates and the strategy is now in place. It will be published shortly in order that there will be clarity about the timelines involved and the work done to date in the preparation of the legislation.
