The Board of the National Paediatric Hospital has today submitted plans to An Bord Pleanála.
This move was welcomed by Mary O’Connor, Chief Executive of Children in Hospital Ireland (CHI) as a “momentous milestone” and warned that “no further slippage can be allowed to occur”.
The CHI also outlined a number of benefits of the new hospital including the fact all services will be under one roof and there will be appropriate environments with play and educational facilities for patients from 0 to 18 years of age.
It was recently confirmed that the Mater site will be the location for the hospital.
