Mr. Robert Watt:

The Government made that decision in December on what to do. It had to make a decision on whether to stop the project, not move to phase two, write off the money already spent and start again on a children's hospital on whatever site for whatever cost at some time on the future, or to proceed with the decision on the current hospital even though it was going to cost us more money. As the Deputy is aware, that is the decision the Government took.
