Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health

9:30 am

Mr. Robert Watt:

We set out our assessment of the latest cost estimates of what we think the hospital will cost. We said there is a risk in that respect and we set out what the risks are very clearly on several occasions. Therefore, I do not accept that we are not being transparent. The point I have made very clearly with regard to this report is that it contains commercially sensitive information that, were it to be in the public domain, would undermine our ability to deal with these disputes, which involve very significant sums of money.

That is the point I was making. I was not making any other point.
