Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Colm Desmond:
I cannot say specifically, but it would not be of benefit to us in the HSE to leave it much later than the first quarter of the year at the very latest. We hope it will be earlier than that, but we are dependent on a number of factors becoming clear in the costings available to us. We will work through the priorities with the HSE. There are many projects, a number of which have been contracted, while others are projects we would like to see progressed.
