Frank Dolphin

Health Service In 2009 Dolphin was appointed chairman of Temple Street Children's University Hospital.

In July 2010 the Minister for Health and Children Mary Harney announced that Dolphin would assume the role of Chairman of the Health Service Executive with effect from 15 August 2010.

In March 2012 Dolphin was chosen to lead the review group for the construction of the National Children's Hospital Ireland, following the refusal by An Bord Pleanála to give planning permission for the proposed Children's Hospital of Ireland at a site on Eccles Street. The Dolphin Report did not rank locations, but left the final decision to the cabinet; in the end, St. James's Hospital was chosen as the site for the new children's hospital, with a €500m budget being allocated to the project.
