National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018

9:00 am

Mr. Phelim Devine:

The second part of this was additional services that we decided to buy as a development board. They were about strengthening the employer's representative team and strengthening the design team leadership team. Some of this came out of what we experienced through the GMP process. We brought in many additional resident architects, engineers, quantity surveyors and inspectors to ensure we had the right quality in the project. We bought €9.5 million of additional services.
