Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Jim Breslin:

The Deputy will see in page 2 of the briefing note that I have tried to break down the figures in a way that people can follow it. For increasing quantities alone, mechanical is €31 million and electrical is €23 million. For omissions, that is things that were needed but were not in the bill of quantities, the figures are €3 million for mechanical and €12 million for electrical. That is a very significant component. Table 2 in the brief shows that the overall increase in the mechanical figure is 65% and in the electrical is 60%.
