On the 12th of May 2011 I announced the details of an independent review of the National Children's Hospital project.
When I have received the expert report I will carefully consider the next steps in building the national children's hospital. I do not intend to comment on any aspect of the project until the Report and expert recommendation have been received. This is an independent Review and I would not wish to influence them in the deliberations.
The Programme for Government contains a commitment to building the National Children's Hospital. It is the Government's intention to achieve the best possible clinical outcome for children within the resources available. It is essential that all the facts are considered before a final decision is taken on the best approach to delivering this important project.
