Mr. Phelim Devine:

I will begin by saying that, as Mr. Gunning said, this is a world-class hospital The quality of the completion standard that we will accept for the hospital will be world-class. I want to make this point.

We are at the final stages of the project. The contract very clearly sets out that at the final stages the contractor has to complete the rooms to substantial completion standard before they are offered to the design team. The design team has gone into the 3,128 rooms it was offered at the end of August and inspected more than 500 of them. Mr. Gunning spoke about BAM not following its quality management plan. The quality management plan states that BAM must offer the rooms as snag free or close to snag free within reason. It must also evidence that it and its supply chain have gone in and done their quality assurance procedures and signed a piece of paper stating they have been in there and they are snag free. This has not happened. Until last week this has not happened. We have no signatures. The design team has gone in and inspected 500 of these 3,120 rooms in detail and we are averaging approximately 13 or 15 defects.
