I would like to welcome our guests back to the Committee of Public Accounts. They are very welcome. It is safe to say that we all want to see this hospital being built as quickly as possible. We are dealing with children who need better healthcare and certainly better outcomes. This hospital will be revolutionary in terms of access to the future healthcare they all require.

I will start with Ms Hardiman. The development board has indicated that the substantial completion date in their latest programme for the children's hospital is now 29 October 2024. How important is it for CHI to have clarity about when that timing will be?
