More from the Dolphin Report- …”..Population within the M50 can be stated at approximately 800,000….The NPH site investigation should take into account the location of the children if the focus is to be upon the best service for the children. The Greater Dublin Area(GDA) population was 1,804,156 in the 2011 census, meaning that one million of the secondary care catchment lives outside[our emphasis] the M50 “.
NCHA comment- add to the above that the NPH is a NATIONAL service for Tertiary care and the M50 should have been a “no-brainer” -IF “the focus is to be upon the best service for CHILDREN”.
And, lest the government is unaware , we bring our sick children to hospital by CAR.
