Children’s Hospital costs could ‘significantly impact’ HSE infrastructure plan
The executive warned on Monday that construction inflation poses a risk to all current and future projects, while costs associated with new building regulations and standards could further increase spending
Fluctuation in costs associated with the completion of the National Children’s Hospital could have a “significant impact” on the delivery of the HSE’s capital plan this year.
Stephen Donnelly, the Minister for Health, on Monday announced details of this year’s €1 billion spending plan, which commits almost one third of the total budget (€324 million) to the project, which is due for completion in March next year and which is expected to cost €1.7 billion.
