Alan Kelly: That is fair enough.

Alan Kelly: In reality, we have all proven that this is not the case. I have one question for Mr. Gunning. The figures he has given the committee are up to the end April. How many conciliatory decisions or opinions that the board is considering have there been since April? I just want the number. Is it one or up to five?

Alan Kelly: I direct this question to Mr. McKeith, Mr. Quinn or Dr. Curtis. I do not know who will answer it. One of the things that came up at the last committee meeting was that a new patient record system was going to have to be ready to go. Where are we with that? Is that substantially done? Obviously, that would affect the timelines as well.

Alan Kelly: I ask Mr. Quinn to be brief.

Alan Kelly: Will Mr. McKeith just give us a percentage?

Alan Kelly: With training and everything, I expect that but I want to know has the background work been done.

Alan Kelly: My last question is for Mr. Gunning. It is two questions in one in the sense that they overlap. I am not saying this is the right thing to do but was a design freeze at a certain point to finish the hospital ever considered? Based on what Mr. Gunning said previously, I know the board wants to get the hospital to a standard that is best in its class, but was it ever considered? The second...

Alan Kelly: What about the design freeze?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Alan Kelly: I know, but it is just added on here.

Catherine Murphy: I go back to the issue of substantial completion. At the engagement last time, the board could not get a date for substantial completion. Was funding actually withheld at that stage?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Catherine Murphy: But it did not actually withhold.

Catherine Murphy: We are back at the same point again. It is kind of Groundhog Day-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Catherine Murphy: -----and it is threatening to withhold. Is the board actually threatening to withhold?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Catherine Murphy: How long with this process take?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Will it be "threaten to withhold", or "withhold"? It is "fool me once", you know.

Catherine Murphy: It seems to me the contract is all one way. Now, the NPHDB did not write the contract-----

Catherine Murphy: It just appears to me to be all one way, and it is not on the public side. Mr. Gunning said there were 1,150 people turning up for work. How many should be turning up for work?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (30 May 2024)
Catherine Murphy: How many?
