National Paediatric Hospital Development Board Fund: Finance Statements 2013

10:00 am

Mr. John Pollock:

Yes, €490,000 - nearly €500,000 - was a retained value for the St. James’s campus. Most of that related to the architects’ drawings: how the hospital was laid out and the adjacency of the rooms; the configurations of single-bed wards and operating theatres, offices and open-plan offices; and the configuration of the accident and emergency department. It was possible to transfer those drawings to the new design team and they were handed over at the time that the team tendered so they could say “Well that is the layout of a room that was configured and set out, therefore we can retain a value for that.”
