Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Tracey Conroy:

After the Government's decision in 2017 to proceed with phase A, we put the new governance and management arrangements in place. I will address sequentially the escalation in costs that occurred after that. There was an issue of potential additional costs of €61 million, which was discussed at the first board governance meeting in September 2017. It was the subject of detailed discussion and monitoring from then until approximately August 2018. The factors behind the €61 million increase were discussed at the committee meeting last week and, therefore, unless the Deputy wishes, I will not speak about that.
