Further government funding for the construction of the national children’s hospital (NCH) is due to be approved by Cabinet next year, the health minister has said. 

Stephen Donnelly told the Irish Examiner that the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (NPHDB) is likely to seek further Government funding to complete the project.
