Nobody expects the Department of Health to have an expert section to deal with a project or a small number of projects that are to last for, say, 100 years. In terms of learning, it strikes me that once this is over, that expertise will be lost and there will be no institutional memory in terms of other projects, not necessarily in the health area but capital projects where we have a big national development plan. It is essential that not only does the PwC report show where the failings are with this, but also the institutional gaps that need to be identified for other capital projects.
