Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board

Mr. Phelim Devine:

There are two aspects to that. There is a mechanism in the contract – ours is no different than the standard public works contract – in terms of the retention and how much that is. If there is a latent defect that arises afterwards, the contractor will still be under contract. It will be under contract for 12 years, so there is a mechanism whereby, if something occurs or needs to be rectified due to faulty workmanship, we can still contractually pursue the contractor for that.
