Budget Management and Control of Health Expenditure in the context of Budget 2020: Discussion
Mr. Colm Desmond:
I am using broad figures from the original figures. The children's hospital was funded up to the tune of the €980 million before the guaranteed maximum price, or GMP, process. There was, therefore, an annual amount within that each year for the children's hospital. That is what would be in the figures for 2020 to 2022. When the GMP process was concluded an additional €450 million was the cost agreed by the Government. The figure the Deputy cited may have different components within it. It would be best, therefore, if we provided the Deputy with a breakdown of that.
