86 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to proposals to close down all of the existing children’s hospitals in Dublin in favour of the development of proposed facilities at the Mater Hospital site; if her attention has further been drawn to the strong opposition to such proposal, the serious detrimental impact on the availability and accessibility of hospital facilities for children in such circumstances and the limited capacity of the Mater hospital site in comparison with the extensive site accommodation already available to the existing National Children’s Hospital; if she has consulted with those who disagree with the proposed relocation of the NCH to the restricted Mater Hospital site; if she has examined and compared on a cost benefit basis, including easy access the merit of the alternative site on offer; her views on whether the larger, more accessible site with most potential is already available at the NCH; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
