We cannot have scaremongering because it alarms people. The 60 modular beds are going ahead; I believe that they are.

In terms of the overrun at the national children's hospital, we are all talking about the price and the whole lot but the fact of the matter is that we need the hospital. As many as 450 children will be facilitated at the hospital. There is an overrun and, yes, we need to see the facts, but the message needs to be conveyed that the project is at long last going ahead, particularly as it has been spoken about since the 1960s.
