Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Fred Barry:

I did not mean to convey the impression that a lot of things are out of control because we are doing our very best to ensure that is not the case. The things I would see as being outside our control, and I do not want keep labouring this, include the question of inflation, legislative matters and regulatory changes.

If there are changes in medical practice that say we need to introduce a design change or an equipment change, we are going to be the recipients of that, and somebody else is going to decide whether money should be spent. These things are outside of our control.
