Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Mr. David Gunning:

We did have a compliant programme, as I mentioned. Then we had an extended engagement with the contractor where it provided us with a programme that was not fully compliant, but which still contained the various completion dates we have shared with the committee. We monitor the progress on it. While not fully compliant, this was the programme. For the last two years, the contractor has delivered around 67%. While not fully compliant, it was, shall we say, sufficient to allow us to monitor progress. Earlier this year, we were concerned when the 67% dropped below 60% and the performance dropped off further. The development board was sufficiently concerned to request a formal programme for completion of the works.
