Public Accounts Committee

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

9:30 am

Mr. Phelim Devine:

Some of the 906 claims we talk about are variations. A variation might be where a partition detail has changed because we found something on-site. There may be a design issue in respect of the guaranteed maximum price report that shows the number of partitions, but they might be laid out in a different format to suit that system on the site. This might mean a socket or outlet might have to be moved. That is a variation and the contractor might be entitled to some additional money for that.
