I will ask two questions together if Mr. Gunning would not mind coming back to me. I was at another committee meeting so I ask Mr. Gunning to forgive me if he answered this question in my absence. There is a digital hospital element to the new children's hospital. Mr. Gunning has said it is going to be the first smart, digital hospital in Ireland. Give recent events in terms of ICT and the HSE cyberattack, what reassurances can Mr. Gunning give to this committee that it will be robust in its defences?
I asked Mr. Gunning when he was previously before the committee about the completion date for the urgent care centre in Tallaght. Are we still on course for that date? What is that date? Are there any cost overruns or claims relating to that centre?
