Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Children's Hospital: Discussion

Mr. Phelim Devine:

The two outpatient and care centres are part of the one procurement contract with BAM. The budget for the Connolly centre was €29.4 million and it is trending to €29.6 million. As Mr. Gunning said, the final account must be resolved on that. The budget for the Tallaght centre was €31.2 million and is trending at €1 million over budget. This is a result of additional investment in infrastructure on the Tallaght adult campus that had to be put in place to support the project.
