Co-location arguments unfounded

The eight medical and nursing directors who wrote (Letters, June 25) supporting St James’s Hospital as the adult co-location hospital for the proposed new National Children’s Hospital are part of the management and administration structure of the Dublin children’s hospitals. The function of such directors is to manage and plan how services are delivered. It is notable that seven of the eight were appointed since the St James’s site was chosen in 2012. It goes without saying that they would not have applied for these posts, nor would they have been appointed, were they unsupportive of the proposed site location.
