Mr. John Pollock:

I will deal first with the presentation of the figures. Our 2017 business case was for €983 million. This was for the elements of the projects for which we are responsible - designing, building, and equipping the hospital. When we reported on the costs, it was a like-for-like comparison. When comparing the €983 million with the €1.43 billion, we were reporting on the costs for which we are responsible.

With regard to the tender, there were three tenders in 2016. These were the main contractor, which was BAM, the mechanical contractor, and the electrical contractor, which will install all of the systems.
