Regarding the cost of the paediatric hospital, the committee was recently told that one third of the Department of Health’s entire capital budget would be taken up by that project. The more the hospital eats into the capital budget, the more other capital projects will presumably be scheduled differently, for example, paused. Is that how it will work? I asked about projects that had been stopped because of inflation. Can we also have a list of projects that have been paused so that we can have some idea of the situation?
