Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Construction of the National Children’s Hospital: Discussion

Mr. Phelim Devine:

No, thankfully. We spoke earlier about future-proofing the hospital so that nothing would come at us from left field. We believe we have a good balance. We have just finished full procurement of the very sophisticated hospital equipment. There was a real balance to be struck between making sure we had it procured on time to properly integrate it in the hospital and not in any way impact the construction works and getting the best equipment for the children of Ireland. I believe we have achieved this. I am glad to say that for all the equipment we purchased we had fantastic vendors involved. We have had a very successful outcome on purchasing this sophisticated equipment. The clinicians are very happy.
