CUH has around 1000 beds, the new Children's hospital has 375 beds... strange...NMH Cost €300M+. Cork University Hospital was completed 10 years ago for less than a quarter of that. Back then the price of labour was much higher too. Something wrong somewhere . . . .
Does anybody know the projected amount of yearly births in NMH?
Connolly is not a top tier hospital. If I was knocked down in Blanchardstown I'd ask to be brought to James's.I could be losing the point here.
The children's hospital is to be built in James to be co located with an adult hospital and a teaching hospital.
The maternity hospital in Vincent's. Surely it would make more sense for them all to be co located or not.
Transport wise I did it on aa route planner...26 mins by car between Vincent's and James.
Connolly would've been a much better option.

Over a third of the population of the country live in Dublin. The national transportation infrastructure radiates from and to Dublin. The LUAS runs through the St. James's site. There is a train station down the road and there is a QBC most of the way in from the M50.It's late in the day, but the New Maternity Hospital is destined for "twinning" next to St-James Hospital. I understand the informed thinking brigade see it as a "must" that all the medical brains should be concentrated in one area. St-James Hospital is as near to unreachable as possible at the moment. A huge maternity hospital on the same site will contribute to being more unreachable and more babies born at crossroads/roundabouts enroute. I'm sure there won't be too many medical brains at such junctions. But, will the consultants make more money and have less costs if the NMH is located in St-James?
I can't understand why the government won't grasp the nettle and even at this late state locate the New Maternity Hospital away from the snarled city of Dublin.

Yes, that's correct.isn't the new CHILDREN'S hospital going to St James and the new MATERNITY hospital going to St Vincents.
They are all just holy places in Dublin to me, but isn't the new CHILDREN'S hospital going to St James and the new MATERNITY hospital going to St Vincents.
