First, the Deputy is aware that the Government has made a decision to build the national children's hospital and has made a clear decision as to its location.

There will be no delay in that project. The national paediatric hospital development board establishment order will provide for an amendment to the functions of the national paediatric hospital development board but I do not have a date for the publication of that legislation. It will not delay the building of the hospital.

With regard to the digital hub, it is intended to proceed with what has been announced. I am not clear on the legislative implication but I will get a reply sent to the Deputy directly.
