Core offering

The National Paediatric Hospital Development Board plans, designs, builds, equips, and furnishes Ireland's New Children's Hospital and its two satellite paediatric outpatient and urgent care centres. It acts as the government-appointed procuring authority for the most significant healthcare capital investment in Irish history (€2.24 billion), consolidating three legacy Dublin children's hospitals into a modern 380-room digital facility with 39 specialties.

Product overview

The National Paediatric Hospital Development Board is delivering Ireland's New Children's Hospital project—a major health infrastructure programme comprising the main hospital on the St James's Hospital campus (a 380-single-inpatient-room digital facility with 39 specialties), two satellite Paediatric Outpatient and Urgent Care Centres at CHI at Connolly and CHI at Tallaght, and an ongoing integration of three legacy children's hospitals (Crumlin, Temple Street, Tallaght) into Children's Health Ireland. The project also includes a pioneering Community Benefit Programme and digital hospital infrastructure designed to support innovation and excellence in paediatric healthcare.
