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
-
7/24/2019 PA0043 SUB MARK DUNNE.pdf
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

is
being
promoted
as
