National Children’s Hospital decision adds to Tallaght uncertainty \u2013 Crowe<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n

Dublin South West TD, Se\u00e1n Crowe, has said the government\u2019s decision to locate the National Children’s Hospital at St James\u2019 Hospital is a major set-back for Tallaght and has left huge uncertainty around the future of Tallaght and Our Lady’s Hospital in Crumlin.<\/span> <\/p>\n

Crowe, who is a member of the Tallaght Hospital Action Group, said there is a complete lack of any transparency in the St. James\u2019 decision and that other applicants were at a loss as to why their preferred sites had been overlooked when it came to the actual location for the purpose built new hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deputy Se\u00e1n Crowe said;<\/span> <\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision to locate the new National Children’s Hospital at St. James\u2019 Hospital will be a major set-back to Tallaght and Our Lady’s Children\u2019s Hospital in Crumlin. <\/span> <\/p>\n

\u201cThe location at Tallaght Hospital seems to have been dismissed out of hand at a very early stage and for no obvious reason.<\/span> <\/p>\n

\u201cIt seemed to me that Tallaght Hospital fulfilled all the terms of reference for the so called Dolphin review for the new Children’s Hospital. These included; accessibility, cost and value for money, availability of land, future expansion prospects, a short time frame for construction and no obvious future planning difficulties.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe lack of any transparency surrounding the actual decision raises huge questions about the process and how a decision was finally arrived at by Minister Reilly and his Cabinet colleagues.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is now huge uncertainty around Tallaght Hospital. Will the proposed Ambulatory Centre that was supposed to be based in Tallaght now go ahead? <\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAdditionally, the proposed move of Coombe Maternity Hospital to Tallaght is in doubt as confirmed to me today by the minister.<\/span> <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is also huge uncertainty around Our Lady\u2019s Hospital in Crumlin. Will Crumlin Hospital, where so much public investment has been made in recent years, now be sold off to a private health interests?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
