Public Accounts Committee

National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement

1:00 pm

Mr. David Gunning:

I do not because that just starts to feed into the speculation. We have had a lot of speculation around this project right from the start. I will say, if I can be very brief, there will be costs associated with the delay because of the delayed time. There will be costs associated with dealing with and defending the claims. There will be costs that have been identified in the PwC report as residual risks and we have put numbers on each of those, including the bigger issue of inflation and some other matters, including provisional sums. We will be including all of those particular cost categories. We have gone through everything. It has been an extremely thorough analysis. We think we will arrive at a particular point that we can have confidence in.
