Neasa Hourigan: I want to get to two areas so I will cut myself off five minutes in and move to a different area. I will ask about the children's hospital. I took note of what was said in previous contributions. Will the witnesses confirm when the substantial completion will be finished? I do not need a precise date but a month.

Neasa Hourigan: I am looking for the date for substantial completion and not when all the commissioning will have taken place. That is the first thing.

I have a tendency to refer to everything as commissioning but I would like to understand the commissioning period in respect of physical equipping, including the equipping of theatres.

Neasa Hourigan: No, that is not my question. Last week, the health committee heard about the digital strategy for the national children's hospital - I have received this information a number of times through parliamentary questions - and how the hospital would be incredible and high-tech. However, I noticed in the capital funding figures that we are meant to be discussing at this meeting, that it is not...

Neasa Hourigan: CHI drew down €135,000 in 2021 and €489,000 in 2020 for digital or ICT purposes, but I presume that funding related to the satellite hospitals. To Mr. Mulvany's knowledge, has it drawn down any funding for digital planning or commissioning within the national children's hospital?

Neasa Hourigan: I would have expected the Department of Health to tell the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform that its 2018 refusal was ridiculous and that the Department of Health would not accept it.
