Public Accounts Committee

National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. David Gunning:

Inadvertently giving targets to the contractor which it will then look at with a great degree of desire to land is certainly a deep consideration of ours. We must avoid that situation. Hence, the need to provide as much information as we can, while being unable to give this definitive update on cost projections. We are in a very sensitive position now regarding negotiations because this is a live contract.
