I thank the representatives of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board for their engagement with the committee on the important matter of progress being made on the construction of the national children's hospital. The committee remains acutely concerned about the escalating cost of the project, the repeated delays in its construction and the lack of a definite timeline for the opening. The committee will give further consideration to how we will proceed with and interrogate this matter. For the information of board members and the general public, the Minister has been invited to discuss this sensitive matter. We have invited him to a public session on this and are awaiting a response from him. I again thank the representatives for their attendance and their fulsome answers.
