- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: Good morning to our guests. I want to return to the issue of the national children’s hospital because it involves the most significant capital outlay currently being undertaken by the State. Could Mr. Watt confirm when he expects construction of the hospital to be finished and by what day the nine-month activation period is expected to have elapsed?

Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: It is at any particular time in 2024?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: The term Mr. Watt used previously when asked about the final costs was that there is no point in speculating. Does he understand how even that phrase would lead to consternation among many considering that in 2016 we had an estimated cost from his Department of €800 million, which increased to €983 million in 2018 and to €1.43 billion in 2019? Since then the Department...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts

- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: What is that?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: Therefore, Mr. Watt is saying those final cost estimates as he has them have not changed since 2019.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: When was the €1.7 billion all incorporated estimate made?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: Regarding the report that has been subject to much discussion, I think the phrase Mr. Watt used in his letter to us on 19 May, was that it was "an analysis" by the NPHDB. Is that how he would describe this report?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: In the letter on 19 May, Mr. Watt stated that it had been submitted to his Department for "independent analysis and scrutiny". Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: Who carried out that independent analysis and scrutiny of the analysis by the hospital board?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: Therefore we have a report from the hospital board and then was there a separate report from the process that Mr. Watt just described or a track changes-type document? What form did the review take?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: I understand Mr. Watt is saying he cannot provide the committee with that report. Is he confident that there is nothing in those documents that would warrant him revising the €1.7 billion figure that he has given us here today?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: We know that some of those factors are absolutely realisable, particularly inflation because we are in an inflationary period. Will the figure be higher?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: But there is a reality that number will not be met.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: It is incredibly worrying that there is documentation that is not being furnished to the Committee on Public Accounts and that even at this late stage, we do not have even a guesstimate as to what the final cost of this will be. On that basis, does Mr. Watt accept the premise of the contract through which the project is being delivered was fundamentally flawed?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Matt Carthy: I did not say the process; I referred to the contractual basis on which the hospital is based. Does Mr. Watt accept that is flawed?
