Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Children’s Hospital: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Patrick Lynch:
We will probably incur additional costs if it goes beyond June because of things like the team that is involved in introducing the electronic health record and ICT systems. If that team cannot get in to do its work, it will still have to be maintained. I will conclude with one final point. On the critical idea of transformation and the team, one of the key things that has happened is that we now have confirmation that Professor David Coghlan will be taking on the medical transformation. He will be lead director from Monday. Connecting the clinical organisation and providing focus will be critical. We will have the technical piece and they we will have the human part of commissioning.
