National Children's Hospital: Discussion with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform
Mr. Robert Watt:
The procedure for spending is to relate the actual spending to the profile, following which the senior levels of the Department would be alerted to any variance. The hospital was a different case because it related to prospective spending as opposed to actual spending. In reply to earlier questions, I set out the two-stage process, how it was managed and how we arrived at this situation.
