Public Accounts Committee

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

Mr. Tom Costello:

Just to give the Acting Chairman some comfort, Mr. Pollock mentioned earlier that the retained asset from the Mater captures a lot of what he talked about - all the expertise that went into the tri-location at the time. Therefore, that is actually captured.

As Ms Conroy said, it is just the way we work. The children's hospital board, in essence, is defining for us the brief for the hospitals. Temple Street, through its CEO, is represented on that board. All that corporate knowledge the Acting Chairman talked about is being captured and passed on to us as the brief for the hospital. Our remit is to design, build and equip based on that brief.
