National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017
9:00 am
Mr. John Pollock:
We are clear on the construction elements. They were priced at €637 million in the tender and have gone to €890 million. In my opening statement I said there was an additional €130 million of other costs above and beyond the €320 million in construction costs. There are construction costs of €320 million linked to the BAM contract under way at St. James's Hospital. There have been a further €130 million in increased costs since the €983 million figure in the business case. Those costs are set out in my statement and they were late too. There are other construction projects: the enabling works contract, the decant project, aspergillus contracts and three hospital campuses, the two urgent care centres at Connolly Hospital and Tallaght-----
