LTRDATED FROM

PL .,

My

name

is

Mark Dunne. I wish

to

make

the

following points regarding my concerns

about the proposed development of the National Paediatric Hospital (NPH) on the St

James's Hospital Campus in Dublin 8.

A NATIONAL Hospital

This hospital will be the only hospital serving the seriously ill children from all over

Ireland, 75 of whom live outside

the

MSO. It also will serve the secondary care

needs of children in

the

Greater Dublin Area, of whom more than hal f live outside

the

MSO.

Access

Almost all (around 90 ) children are brought to hospital by car. We believe that the

site

at

the

James

Connolly Memorial Hospital in Blanchardstown offers better

access

for

children travelling by car. Lying

just off

the MSO/N3 exit it

is

not in a traffic

clogged metropolis. I know that even now,

it

can take 45 minutess to exit the St

James's site at rush-hour.

The

approach roads are single lane and congested. One

need only arrange a small remote controlled drone at a very little cost, to

fly

over

this area

to

view proof of the awful congestion situation that exists around the area.

If a parent is attempting

to

access the hospital with a child with life-threatening

symptoms such as meningococcal meningitis, then a delay of even 10 minutes can

put the

child's life at risk.

Parking

In

July 2015 a national newspaper carried an article urging staff

to

use public

transport to get to work at

St

James's. I know

that

it is the policy of Dublin City

Council to discourage cars in the city and that no extra parking will be provided on

the

StJames's

Campus

over the coming years. The logical solution is don t force

families with sick children

to

have

to

come into the city by having the hospital there.

Helicopter Access

The recent establishment of a permanent Emergency Aeromedical Support (EAS)

service is a most welcome development in Ireland.

EAS

is now

an

essential part

of


7/7

the prehospital emergency response.

It

has offered seriously

ill

and injured people

living in remote areas

timely access to

high quality critical care.

s

recommended by

an

expert group, all future acute hospital developments must include provision

for

a

ground helipad. The helipad in

the

proposed NPH

is

located on the

roof of the

4 th

floor and can t accommodate a coast guard helicopter. No space

for

helicopter

access

at

ground level will result in the hospital failing in its duty

of

care to seriously

ill children.

Space

St

Jamess campus

is

a long narrow campus

of

49 acres, 10

of

which are owned on

leasehold by Trinity College.

It is

difficult to

see

how a large adult hospital, a large

children s hospital and a full maternity hospital can be squeezed into

the

remaining

space and leave room

for

the future expansion which all these hospitals inevitably

will need.

It

seems crazy

that

this

can

be considered

the

best site

for

a newbuild

2 st

century children s hospital.

Maternity

The children s doctors keep telling

us that

it

is

much more important

for

a children s

hospital to be colocated with a maternity hospital than with an adult hospital,

so

that our sick new born children can get immediate attention when they need it .

There

is

no obvious space

on the St

James s site

for

a

maternity

hospital and

planning permission

for

a maternity hospital

has not

been sought.

n

Bard Pleanahi

should

not

give planning permission for a children s hospital ahead

of

planning being

granted

for

a maternity hospital. To do

so

will compromise the care of Ireland s

newborn babies who after all are meant to have the same rights as adult citizens.

Environment

Nature

is required for healing. Everyone needs access to outdoor space, including

sick children,

their

parents and brothers, sisters, friends and fami ly pets who visit.

It

seems very shortsighted

that

a site

u

h_

_nn rn n ......

u ....... , e

is

being

promoted

as

the best available site. AN BORO
