Public Accounts Committee

National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017

9:00 am

Mr. Jim Breslin:

It is a very good point. The scale of the country is an issue. For example, in Canada there is a public sector construction body that constructs major mega-projects. In this case, Ireland has mega-projects that do not arrive every year. Somebody works on them over the course of their career but they only work on one. While it may not be a structural solution, it is a question of designing a solution that sees the learning from major projects moved from that project onto other projects, not just in health, because there are so few of them, but nationally.
