Re: Support for the new children's hospital (PA0043}

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;

The new children's hospital will be the centre of a new Model of Care under the
umbrella of the Children's Hospital Group. It will bring all of the most complex
elements of modern paediatric care under one roof, in a modern building that is
custom-built to deliver the best medical treatments that are now available. Services
will be delivered in an environment that provides a level of comfort and convenience
that aids recovery and enhances the overall service experience.

The tri-location of the new children's hospital on a shared campus with StJames's
Hospital- one of Ireland's leading teaching hospitals- and, in time, 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 and patient experience and
reduce waiting times.

When the hospital is built, there will be no more unnecessary replication of highly
specialised services for children. The new Model of Care will ensure proper referral
pathways for all the children of Ireland to access the care appropriate to their needs,
either close to their home or, if very specialised care is required, then at the new
children's hospital.

An integral part of the new children's hospital includes the development of two
Satellite Centres planned at Tallaght Hospital and Connolly Hospital. These centres
will provide urgent care to the children of Dublin and the surrounding counties as well
as paediatric outpatients. These Centres will allow children with minor injuries and
minor illnesses to be treated locally in a Model of Care which has proven to be of the
highest standard in other locations around the world.

The children of Ireland deserve the best care available and they should not have to wait any
longer for this much needed facility.
Yours sincerely

When considering international best practice, McKinsey concludes that 'optimal'

paediatric services for a population of up to 5 million must be co-located with an adult
teaching hospital.

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

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-locatlon, ensures an improved capacity to treat multisystem, complex conditions requiring integrated treatments across several clinical
specialties; and StJames's Hospital has the greatest number of clinical specialties and
national services from an adult perspective.

The StJames's Hospital campus 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 hospita I 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.
