The National Paediatric Hospital Development Board is the statutory body charged with delivery of the capital project. The NPHDB has recently completed evaluation of the tenders, received at the end of October 2016, for the main & specialist contractors for the new children’s hospital and for the two Paediatric OPD and Urgent Care Satellite Centres at Tallaght and Connolly Hospitals.

Final capital costs will be available following completion of the tender process. For reasons of commercial sensitivity, details of cost estimates cannot be provided at this stage.
