Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board

Mr. Phelim Devine:

Not particularly, no. In most cases we do not believe it does that. I will give an example. A ceiling might have a grill position or there is a smoke detector. Because it is a hospital, there is signage, Wi-Fi, smoke detectors, hydrants, given it will be a fully sprinklered building, and nurse call text displays and all that has to be co-ordinated in the ceiling. In the final co-ordination stage that might have to move slightly. We also have cameras on every corridor. When that is taken that into account, things might move slightly and then a drawing is updated. In some cases, one smoke detector might be moved and because the drawings overlap because we have 25 drawings per level -----
