Mr. Phelim Devine:

There are 6,000 spaces, of which 4,600 are clinical rooms. There are also IT hubs and so on. There are 36,000 data points that must be threaded from IT rooms that are 90 m apart. There are hundreds of kilometres of cable in the building. Every data point is, on average, 70 m of cable. That is 70 m by 36,000 just for data cabling, and another 56,000 building management system points, BMS, that monitor how the building behaves, including temperature and the opening and closing of windows. The electrical installation is vast. As part of future proofing the hospital and making it world class, we have interwoven all of that data cabling so that, God forbid, if anything were to happen to one of the intensive care hubs in the future, the hospital could quickly switch over to a second one. We have full resilience built in with regard to data cabling. There is also full resilience built into the back-up generation. The main distribution boards and sub-distribution boards all have A&B.
