Dr. Emma Curtis:

With regard to when the hospital is completed and handed over, a huge amount of commissioning and planning work has been taking place over the last number of years for Connolly specifically, and staff will be brought in and trained onsite, using the equipment and understanding it. On the international experience, in Australia there was pressure to open a hospital and shorten the training period, which resulted in significant risk and led to a public inquiry because the proper amount of time was not allotted between handover of the building and bringing patients in to ensure the staff entirely understood the building, the work, the equipment and the systems. It is very important there is a proper period of training of staff.
