I have a question about Holles Street hospital. One of the big sells in having a new national children's hospital was that there would be trilocation of paediatric, maternity and adult services, but there has been no movement on the relocation of Holles Street hospital. The planning and development phase has not started and we found out at the committee recently that there was no money budgeted to begin the work this year. Does Ms Hardiman have any insight into why there has been no progress on something that was trumpeted as being a critical feature of the new healthcare campus, offering benefits for both children and mothers?
