Established under the National Paediatric Hospital Development (Establishment) Order 2007, the NPHDB is charged with planning, designing, building and equipping the new children’s hospital and outpatient and urgent care centres. As the Deputy is aware, on 2nd February last, the Chair of the Board tendered his resignation which I have accepted.

An independent review of the escalation of costs in the new children’s hospital is underway, to be concluded by the end of March. I have stated very clearly I will act on the findings of that report, including in relation to governance matters.
