Reilly ‘not wed’ to Mater site for hospital

Health Minister James Reilly said the Government was not “wed” to the Mater site as a location for the new children’s hospital, but said it did need to be co-located with an adult hospital.

Dr Reilly said the Cabinet will today decide on terms of reference for the review group set up to give the Government a range of options on where best to build the hospital. However, he said the Mater site was not the only option and “everything is on the table”.

Once the review group is established, it will report back to the Government within four weeks.
