Public Accounts Committee
National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017 (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. Jim Breslin:
The Minister went on the record in the House in a debate on that matter. He explained himself and acknowledged that, in hindsight, he wishes he had provided additional context in respect of it. It was on the cash profile. The amount of money spent on the project was in line with the profile. In hindsight, however, we should have worked with the Minister to say that the GMP process had not yet concluded but that, when concluded, it would be the process that would determine the construction budget. I do not speak for the Minister because he is on the record of the House on this subject.
