There is no divergence or change in policy, but I fully share the Deputy’s frustrations. It takes years longer than it should to build new hospitals in this country. Mr. Tierney is leading the work. If the Deputy wants, he can give her some detail, if that is of use. I know it does not feel like this, but I can assure the Deputy that the Department is moving through the public spending code quickly for the public. The public spending code is not fit for purpose. It is has 17 steps and five different approval gates.
