HSE chose Mater location
HSE senior official Fionnuala Duffy, who is responsible for the planning and development of the acute hospital system, said the Joint HSE/Department of Health and Children Task Group used several international paediatricians as a “sounding board” to help them inform their decision-making.
“We obviously did not ask the international experts to recommend the site. That is what we were charged with doing as a task group. We just tapped into that expertise to inform us,” she said.
