Public Accounts Committee

National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Jim Breslin:

I will set out what I did have. I wrote to the then chair of the development board and I said that we were hearing about cost escalation and setting out the information we would need to inform Government. I asked for a full comprehensive report on the GMP process, setting out how it was managed and how the costs had escalated. The GMP document is among the documents which the Chairman has in his hands. I also said to the development board that I wanted an audit of the GMP process, which it said it was considering. Other than the development board, I wanted somebody to look at it, lest they found something that was not proper within the process. The development board used Mazars, its internal auditors, to do that.
