Public Accounts Committee

2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
2012 Accounts of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board

11:20 am

Mr. John Pollock:

The process we went through involved an internal review within the development board at the executive. We did not do this externally. We reviewed all the assets that related to the Mater hospital site in respect of health planning, design, business cases, project execution plans and risks registered. We assessed the assets to see which could be retained for value. The process took a long number of months and we had an initial view in August 2012, which the Comptroller and Auditor General has spoken about, and separately the board decided it was not happy with the figures presented. The Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General came back to say it did not consider the figures as presented were correct and that some of the issues could be challenged further.
