Public Accounts Committee

National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018

9:00 am

Ms Eilísh Hardiman:

There are no private designations to any of the 473 inpatient or day care beds in the new children's hospital. We have 119 clinical examination rooms in outpatients and, because of the legal obligations of our HR contracts with our consultants who have a B-type contract, those consultants are entitled to do 20% of their outpatient work on site. One suite, containing eight rooms, has been designated as private for us to honour that legal obligation. If there is any change on the policy, as we have said before, we are willing to implement it.
