Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. John Pollock:

It is around €27 million. We also had the Grenfell Tower fire which impacted the regulatory environment. Modifications to the design were required to reflect current best practice. When we recommended to Government and got business case approval of €983 million, we drew up a schedule of targeted savings where we could get better value. The target was €66 million but we did not deliver the full €66 million. We delivered €20 million of savings over what was tendered in 2016, leaving €46 million.
