To the Secretary,
Re. Support for Planning Application- New Children's Hospital (PA 0043)
We wish to submit our support for the planned development of the new children's hospital (PA0043)
as set out on www.nchplanning.ie
We support this development for many reasons, namely:

The new children's hospital is central to our development of a national model of care for
paediatrics. It will bring together all of the most complex elements of modern paediatric
healthcare in a modern, purpose built facility that delivers the best medical treatments to our
children. It brings together not only the three children's hospitals in Dublin, but is also the
centre of an integrated national network for paediatrics, thus improving care services for
children throughout the country.
The new model of care, together with the new children's hospital, will reduce duplication and
fragmentation of paediatric services within our health system. Referral and clinical care
pathways will be explicit for all specialties within the new children's hospital to ensure
accessible, high quality services for children and also to ensure the best use of resources. The
two satellite centres at Tallaght and Blanchardstown will provide urgent and ambulatory care
closer to home for children in the greater Dublin area. Children with more specialised
requirements will attend the new children's hospital. This model is proven internationally to
be the highest standard available.
International best practice (as highlighted by the McKinsey report, and recommended in the
Scottish Review of Paediatric Services and the Bristol Inquiry) supports colocation of paediatric
services with an adult teaching hospital. St. James's Hospital has the greatest number of adult
specialties operating on a regional and national basis, as well as being the location of the


Institute of Molecular Medicine, the Wellcome Clinical Trials Unit (the largest of its kind in
Ireland), the Irish Blood Transfusion Service Board and a radiation oncology facility. There is a
breadth of expertise available on site which provides signigicant opportunity for knoweldge
sharing and collaboration. Colocation with St. James's Hospital represents the ideal situation
to develop excellent paediatric services and ultimately improve outcomes.

We hope you will consider these points when making a decision on this planning application.

Yours sincerelY,

- i~
