Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Construction of National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board

Mr. Fred Barry:

We have procurement expertise both on the board and within the organisation. In that regard the procurement phase of the hospital is really behind us. Good, bad or indifferent, the main building works have been procured. We do have to procure equipment, and there is a lot of it, but we are working on that very closely with the HSE, which is of course our expert in the procurement of hospital equipment. I am therefore quite happy that, between our internal resources and the support we are getting from the health system, we have the expertise to deal with the equipment procurement, which is the main procurement left to us.
