Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board
Mr. John Pollock:
I am coming to that. It does not include the decant works at St. James's Hospital to clear the 12-acre site. That was €16 million. It does not include equipping the hospital, which is, obviously, a significant contract at about €70 million. It does not include VAT, which is about €200 million for the entire project. It does not include our project, staffing, design team, legal team and procurement advice costs - all the other costs.
We have taken out a project insurance policy on the entire project. We insure the entire project to avoid splitting responsibility for it. There are all those elements.
