Public Accounts Committee
National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Children's Health Ireland: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. David Gunning:
Mr. Drew can help me out if needs be because there are multiple layers. Starting at the top, there is a meeting between the chairs and chief executives of the two organisations that happens on a quarterly basis just to check where we are at. Then I meet with Ms Nugent and in attendance at that meeting are Mr. Devine, project director, and Ms Lewis from CHI. That happens on a monthly basis. Then there is a layer below that where all the commissioning and other issues are discussed, which is chaired by Mr. Drew on our part alongside Ms Lewis from CHI. Below that we have the engineers and the people in the detail of this, with one of Mr. Drew's direct reports dealing with that. There are also multiple other interfaces across the two organisations. A lot of us are in the same building and we meet each other every day. We are absolutely integrated.
