National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2020

9:30 am

Mr. Jim Farragher:

Even as of today, we do not have all the contracts in place for the equipment and fit-out of the hospital. You are always adding some commitments until the last capital commitment is signed off on. At that time there was €80 million-plus for equipping the hospital that had not been committed but you are moving along. There were also some pieces of commitment in the general expenditure that would be added as well. There are new commitments being made, less what is spent, and then add on the inflation.
