Decision to relocate paediatric services ‘will impact on parents and children’

PARENTS and children in the Tallaght area will be the real victims of a political decision to relocate national paediatric services to the Taoiseach’s constituency, it was claimed yesterday.

A campaign has been launched by the Tallaght Hospital Action Committee and the Mayor of South Dublin County Council, Cllr Eamon Maloney to protect services for children at Tallaght Hospital.

The Government has decided the new National Children’s Hospital is to be based on the campus of the Mater Hospital on Dublin’s northside in Mr Ahern’s Dublin Central constituency.
