To the Secretary,
I am writing to you in relation to the proposed construction of the National Paediatric
Hospital at the St. James' Hospital Campus.

Dublin Chamber of Commerce wishes to strongly endorse the building of the New Children's Hospital at the St
James' s Hospital site (PA0043). This project will provide a crucial piece of social infrastructure, which will
provide better healthcare to the children of Ireland.
The New Childrens' Hospital will serve as the local childrens' hospital for the Greater Dublin Area, which has a
population of over four hundred thousand children under the age of fifteen. The hospital will also serve as the
specialised children's hospital nationally for the population of one million under 15 year olds. Medical studies
have shown that experience and a higher volume of procedures reduces mortality rates. The Royal College of
Physicians first proposed the construction of a new National Children's hospital in 1993. This hospital would
significantly increase the number of beds available for children and improve the overall care they would
receive.
Locating the New Children's Hospital at the St. James' campus offers several advantages to better treat the
sick children of Ireland. At thirty- nine, the number of specialities available in St. James' Hospital is among the
highest in the country, and will help in the treatment of the most seriously ill children. Locating the new
children's hospital at St. James' campus, an already mature teaching hospital, will also facilitate excellent
teaching of the practice of paediatric medicine.
Construction of the hospital will take approximately five years. During this time, over a thousand jobs will be
created. After construction, the New Childrens' Hospital will also generate ancillary jobs in the development
of healthcare technology, offering a boost to the adjacent Digital Hub. Further, the increase in the size of the
hospital campus will also serve as a boost to the development of medical cluster. We believe the cluster will
support development of advanced healthcare technologies and foster intellectual capability. This has been
the experience in other cities internationally and Dublin 8 is well positioned for this type of business
development.
Dublin Chamber which represents 1,300 businesses throughout Dublin and from various sectors supports the
planned development of the new children's hospital on a campus shared with StJames's Hospital (PA0043).
Yours sincerely,
