National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2017

9:00 am

Mr. Jim Breslin:

As referred to by the Comptroller and Auditor General in his opening statement, the development board has responsibility for a large portion of the project costs but some of the costs are being met from outside of the development board. In particular, the HSE is meeting the ICT and electronic health record costs. That is because it is forming part of a national electronic health record programme.
