Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: I completely understand that but Mr. Gunning and I both know that best practice is that 18 or 24 months before a patient walks in the door, the operational commissioning has a full schedule and people are looking at it and are on site. There is a reason I am asking this. Has there been an exploration of phasing within substantial completion? Has the board looked at that, whereby it might...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: Okay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: Therefore, there is no phasing. It is a full handover.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: Is it a full handover or is it just access?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: Okay, so, it is an insurance arrangement of some sort.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: I totally understand but I am asking specifically about handover. Mr. Gunning pointed to the supplementary information he provided to us on the claims. As I only have one minute left, I seek a quick point of clarity on the 2,175 claims. The subtotal under disputed claims and adjustments comes to 1,278 and then there is that overlap of 997 claims. I acknowledge I am throwing a load of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: I am just mindful that as we hopefully, at some stage, approach substantial completion, for many of these claims, the average run time would be 15 or 20 months or two or three years. The employer's representative determines whether a claim is valid. Is that-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: Obviously, 2,175 is not the final number. We are probably looking at claims into the future. As for the number in the table Mr. Gunning has given to us, how many of those have actually commenced a process?
