Public Accounts Committee

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

9:30 am

Mr. David Gunning:

We continue to share analysis with the Department of Health. The situation changes on a dynamic basis, as the Deputy is aware, in terms of new claims coming in, our assessment of inflation and our assessment of other aspects of this project. The scenarios continue to develop, shall we say, but we have a constant dialogue with the Department in regard to all matters. We report to the Department and to Children's Health Ireland on the project on a monthly basis in terms of our assessments of these issues.
