Officials in my Department engage with the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (NPHDB) on a regular basis. I have been informed by my officials that the NPHDB, which is the statutory body responsible for the design, build and equipping of the new children’s hospital, has commenced a High Court action in relation to the company mentioned by the Deputy. The decision to issue proceedings rests with the NPHDB. As the matter is now before the Courts I do not wish to say anything that could in any way prejudice those proceedings.
