Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Children's Hospital: Discussion
Mr. David Gunning:
They will be addressed. Many of them have been addressed. More than 600 have been through the employer's representative determination process. Many of those have moved into conciliation and other processes. Those processes are paused. However, we are constantly receiving new claims from the contractor which are, under the current arrangement because of the moratorium, accepted and acknowledged. Justification for, and particular details of, those claims are provided and they are then being parked on a temporary basis for the duration of the moratorium. At some stage, we will have to go through those claims. That will happen when our teams are liberated from their current activities.
