The briefing notes reveal updates on the new children's hospital in Dublin, expected to be substantially finished by June. However, Children's Health Ireland indicated that patient transfers must wait until winter risks to health are mitigated. The project budget stands at €2.24 billion, covering construction and integration costs. It involves merging operations of three existing hospitals and training over 4,000 staff, tackling complex, interconnected challenges. By 2025, an onsite operational commissioning phase is planned to ensure readiness for the fully digital hospital system, with an ongoing expert review addressing operational concerns.
The new long-delayed children's hospital in Dublin, with a budget of €2.24 billion, cannot transfer patients in winter due to clinical risks, as advised by Children's Health Ireland.
The opening of the new hospital relies heavily on the integration of three existing hospitals and training over 4,000 staff for the fully digital hospital system.
A major aspect of the operation involves onsite commissioning, expected to start in 2025, after substantial completion of the building.
An external review of operational readiness conducted in April 2024 led to implemented recommendations aimed at reducing clinical risks, progress of which is monitored by the HSE.
