I know we are nearly at the end of the era of completing the national children's hospital but if it is to be used as an example, it would require 12 or 18 months of data. This will push it very far out. Surely the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform can see this is not a reasonable way to make a decision. If it accepts that point, how long will it take the HSE to do the business case? How long did it take in the case of the partnership with the US company with regard to newborns, for example? How long will it take the HSE to move through the procurement process?
