I thank the Minister and the Minister of State for their presentations on the Estimates and the answers we received to some of the other questions. I wish to return to the Estimates. In his opening statement, the Minister said one of the key OGP initiatives is to further develop, implement and action a medium-term strategy for construction procurement, including the capital works management framework. That strategy began mainly in response to the debacle around the national children's hospital. I have two questions on that. Can the Minister outline the projected cost of the national children’s hospital? Has he made any additional allocation to the national children’s hospital for 2021?
