Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Construction of the National Children’s Hospital: Discussion

Mr. Derek Tierney:

Insofar as the board has responsibility to deliver the capital works and to bring whatever assurance or expertise it needs to bring to bear on that to support it, that, together with CHI’s activity, comes through the HSE as lead director and then is reported to the Department in the context of a national oversight group. I think the Deputy might be referring to the recent addition to the public spending code around the need for the application of an external assurance process as a project business case travels through a gated process. That does not apply in this case, because we are in post-market engagement and are in a live environment.
