- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: It was one of the main issues I wanted to raise. This concerns capital commitments and the project moving on for the next few years. The breakdown of phase A is to be provided, although the witnesses have said it was part of the main contract at the end of the day. I will have to go to the chairman of the children's hospital project programme board for the next answer. Mr. Barry is only...
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: He said that is the budget agreed and it is hoped to come in on budget, subject to what we have discussed. I will not rehash that. It will be subject to assumptions. There is a clear implication that there are other costs associated with the children's hospital not in the construction contract. Will Mr. Breslin start telling us what else will be in there to get this children's hospital up...
- Public Accounts Committee: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: Financial Statements 2018 (5 Dec 2019)
Seán Fleming: Okay. The €1.433 billion figure has been subject to quite a bit of interrogation. Mr. Barry is smiling as I say that.

This committee has never had a discussion on the €293 million...

Chapter 15 - Development of Primary Care Centres (5 Dec 2019) Seán Fleming: The HSE has invented its own language.

The HSE has invented a new vocabulary. How many people are on waiting lists?
