Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board

9:30 am

Mr. David Gunning:

No. Again, to clarify, we did withhold money at the end of 2020 and early 2021. In 2023, when we were here with the committee, we took all the necessary steps to withhold money and, in return, the contractor provided a programme. Once it provided the programme, there were no grounds then upon which to withhold money.
