Construction on the new National Children’s Hospital could be delayed and accrue a higher bill over a fault identified in several of its operating theatres
CONSTRUCTION ON THE new National Children’s Hospital could be delayed and accrue a higher bill over a fault identified in several of its operating theatres.
Sinn Féin health spokesperson David Cullinane has said he understands there is a “major fault in 11 of the operating theatres, which has an impact on the air ventilation systems”. “My source is telling me that it could take the workshops potentially up to three months even to figure out what to do. In 2017, the Children’s Hospital project was forecast to cost €983 million. The following year, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar told the Dáil that it would cost €1.4 billion.
Last year, Project Director of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board Phelim Devine told The Journal that there were “huge pressures on costs and people are aware of it”. “Covid has impacted the project; it delayed the project and there will be costs associated with that,” he said.
