Re: Co-location of a maternity hospital with the new children's hospital (PA0043)

To the Secretary,

We, whose daily practice involves caring for critically ill neonates, unreservedly support the need for a single, national children's hospital, and are willing to compromise on many fronts to achieve this goal, acknowledging that no site is ideal.

Co-location with a physically linked maternity hospital is, in our expert opinion, non-negotiable. We are unwilling to endorse a national children's hospital on a site that cannot accommodate this truly critical adjacency. To do so would be to fail those infants whom we are entrusted to protect. To proceed with such a project will result in the avoidable death or disability of many new-born babies for years to come.

It is our earnest wish that the proposal for the St. James's site can deliver such a co-location. If, however, this is not the case, we urge the Board to have the courage and integrity to act accordingly.

Yours sincerely,

r. nent ofCardiothoracic Surgery, Our Lady's Children's Ho~pital, Crumlin
