Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. Phelim Devine:

That is correct. The contractor is responsible for providing sufficient resources to deliver the programme dates, all the activities Mr. Gunning talked about that make up the programme. Each one of those activities has to be resourced to meet that date to keep to the substantial completion date. If we do not have that, then the project can only slip out further. Unfortunately, the proof of that is that the contractor, on average for the past 12 months, has only made 67% of the planned progress. To us, that means there have to be more resources to deliver the hospital quicker.
