National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018

9:00 am

Mr. Dean Sullivan:

There is not just the challenge of procuring that but the challenge of getting it on the ground and working. The other risk I flagged up, which was picked up in response to some of the questions from Deputy Catherine Murphy, relates to the staffing of the existing site. That is small in comparison to the staffing of the new hospital. We are seeking to mitigate all of those risks but those are the risks I would put on the table.
