The proposed £250m regional children’s hospital will be built on the site of Bostock House within the main Royal Victoria Hospital site. The building will provide 155 inpatient beds and outpatient and day case services.

The Belfast Health & Social Care Trust submitted a planning application (LA04/2018/2157/F) in August 2018 proposing to develop the new children’s hospital. The proposed building comprises approx. 54,000m2 across ten floors of accommodation and an additional roof top plant level. The application was approved in April 2019.
