To the Secretary
I wish to submit my support for the planned development of the proposed new children's hospital
(PA0043) as set out on nchplanning.ie.
I support this development as;

Its completion will result in better clinical outcomes, improved survival rates for the sickest
children and young people and will significantly enhance the experience of service for
children, young people and their families.

It will bring together the three existing children's hospitals; Our lady's Children's Hospital
Crumlin, Temple Street Children's University Hospital, and the National Children's Hospital at
Tallaght Hospital.

When considering international best practice, McKinsey concludes that 'optimal' paediatric
service for a population of up to 5 million must be co-located with an adult teaching hospital

Scottish Review of Paediatric Services and the Bristol Inquiry also have the same conclusions.

An international group of leading children's hospitals' executives from Boston, london,

Colorado, Queensland in a Ministerial National Paediatric Hospital Independent Review 2011
stated "We unequivocally believe that co-locating with tertiary adult and maternity hospitals
is essential to the development of an excellent paediatric service. This has become best
practice internationally and was recognised in the McKinsey report".

Co-location, and ultimately tri-location, ensures an improved capacity to treat multi-system,

complex conditions requiring integrated treatments across several clinical specialties; and St
James's Hospital has the greatest number of clinical specialties and national services from an
adult perspective.

StJames's Hospital is also the location of the Institute of Molecular Medicine, the Wellcome
Clinical Trials Unit (the largest clinical trials unit in the country); the stem cell biology
programme; the Irish Blood Transfusion Service Board; and a Radiation Oncology facility.

Direct and timely access to a wide spectrum of specialties and sub-specialties based full-time
on a single site and the ability to tap into sub-specialist expertise across paediatric and adult
services is critical. This will be possible at the new development.

The location of the new children's hospital on a shared campus with St James's Hospital - one of
Ireland' s leading teaching hospitals- and in time with the new maternity hospital, will provide the
optimal model of care for the sickest children, new-born infants and women. It will improve clinical
outcomes, patient experience and reduce waiting times, there should be no more delays.
Yours sincerely
