The Board of the Adelaide and Meath Hospital Dublin, Incorporating the National Children's Hospital (AMNCH) has announced that the Hospital will fully co-operate with the HIQA investigation and will continue to work closely with the Health Service Executive.

The Hospital is funded to look after the health of 350,000 people but in reality looks after 500,000. This makes AMNCH the busiest Hospital in the country. The Hospital is fully committed to delivering the highest standards of care to our patients.
