Spokesperson for contractors BAM says it is ‘fully confident in the quality of the construction work for this world-class hospital’
Concerns around the “construction quality” in parts of the new national children’s hospital were flagged with senior Government officials in a report which also warned of “continued timeline uncertainty” around the completion of the development.
Officials were told that the number of rooms that had been “accepted” as being delivered was 60 per cent of the full programme of work. In a separate meeting of the department’s oversight group in March, the minutes of which have been seen by The Irish Times, officials were told that three potential names for the new hospital were to be submitted to Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly once a branding exercise was complete. The three potential names have not yet been revealed.
The NPHDB recommended “continuing with the process” to find the “current market offering” but the group was told “mitigation strategies” were being developed. “The NPHDB has periodically made public the nonconformance statistics for the project and these are low for a building of this scale. This is a normal part of the construction process and nonconformance close-out continues as part of the completion process.
