Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board

Mr. John Pollock:

The user engagement piece that we set out on day one in terms of getting on the site two years earlier than with our traditional procurement model was that we engaged with the users and we took typical rooms. We did not design all 6,000 rooms at that stage because that would have taken us a further two years. We got prices for everything so when our tenders came back in 2016 we had prices for all those pieces of equipment and IT points. However, the quantities increased more than anticipated through the detailed design development.
