Mr. Robert Watt:

I will respond to the two questions. To respond to the second question, the profiles relate to actual spending. Reports were provided for us on the actual expenditure incurred in undertaking preliminary works related to the children's hospital and other projects that are the responsibility of the hospital.

To respond to the first question regarding the Department being passive, we are not being passive at all. Between 2012 and the spring of 2017, there was voluminous contact - I think the emails are out there under freedom of information requests - in which the Department was raising issues about governance, procedures and cost estimation for the children's hospital project.
