Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on Construction of New National Children's Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board

9:30 am

Mr. David Gunning:

I summarised earlier the three levers we have. There is not a particular contractual element which says that the staff has to be at X or we can do something else. It is just not there. It is important to point out, and we made the point in our opening statement, that the contractor did indicate that it would have 1,700 people - workers, operatives - on-site and that it would peak at that level. It has never got to that level and now we are at 630. Again, we say to BAM to get the resources and to get it finished. That is the message.
