Three medical groups unite behind Children's Hospital proposal

A number of medical groups have come together to support proposals to build the new National Children’s Hospital on the Connolly Campus.

Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown, Beaumont Hospital and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland say this is the best option.

They say they have the capacity to deliver a fully comprehensive range of medical facilities on site.

The two hospitals will shortly operate as a single provider, giving them 1,100 beds.
