Public Accounts Committee

National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018

9:00 am

Mr. David Gunning:

I came to this project around two months ago. It is well staffed but it is pretty lean. We do not have any surplus staff. In terms of administration, there is administration in all of the key areas but it is around contract administration and claims administration. As we are engaged in processes that are legal or quasi-legal in terms of conciliation and arbitration, it is really important that there is excellent record keeping and we are in a position to find information. We have strengthened the team and our software support and so on to enable that.
