Mr. Robert Watt:

The issue, as has been set out by the people who are responsible for the project, is that there were discussions around increasing costs and those matters were brought to the Minister for Health in August and September. We were told in November about this and we asked for a detailed note. A detailed note was received by us on 19 November, we had a discussion with the Department and we communicated with the Minister a few days afterwards in terms of that. We were told about the significant cost issue at that stage and we met our colleagues in the Department of Health and we engaged with the Minister at that stage on it.
