Public Accounts Committee

National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Derek Tierney:

Regarding the Department's structure, we have a national oversight body. That was one of the key findings from the 2019 PwC report. It is chaired by the Secretary General. Ms Conroy, the CEO of the HSE, the director of the HSE and I attend. The project sits between the paediatric hospital development board and CHI in the context of that integration, going from build through the transition to pre-operations. As Ms Nugent and Mr. Gunning said, as agencies in their own right, the NPHDB and CHI communicate and integrate at an operational project level. That is the architecture that we have put in place since 2019 or 2020.
