Public Accounts Committee

National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017

9:00 am

Mr. Jim Breslin:

It is important from the perspective of learning in the Department of Health has that we put in place something that will be there after we are gone. It is really important. I also agree with the point made about it being across Government. Attention is being paid across Government to the delivery of capital projects. We are very much informed by the work the Comptroller and Auditor General has done. This has particular features. Many capital projects within the public sector, as was said earlier, are delivered on time and on budget. We need to learn from all projects where risks were not managed and apply the learning across the public sector.
