The Children’s Health Act 2018 came into effect on 1 January 2019. Under this act, Children’s Health Ireland was established, and all assets, liabilities and records were transferred from Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin, Temple Street Children’s University Hospital and National Children’s Hospital at Tallaght University Hospital to the new body. From 1 January 2019, all NTPF reports reflect this change and data from the three sites of Children’s Health Ireland is reported as one entity.
