Public Accounts Committee

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

9:30 am

Mr. David Gunning:

As I said, we have an analysis that is ongoing. The biggest issue at the moment is trying to get a good handle on construction inflation. The Deputy will be aware of the various issues in the market in terms of price spikes of a whole range of different construction materials. I have read three reports in the last two days. It is very difficult to call that. There are challenges in landing this, but we have a range of scenarios that we have shared with our stakeholders in relation to the project.
