Mr. David Gunning:
These are two points regularly put forward by the contractor regarding how things might possibly evolve over the coming months. The phasing of a handover or an opening is a matter for the hospital operator, CHI. While I do not speak on its behalf, there is very little appetite for that. The idea that you would have a hospital operating in one part and workers working in another part, just does not work for infection control and other purposes.
