Concern over fund body for children’s hospital

The national children’s hospital will be delayed beyond 2016 — and now legal uncertainty surrounds the charity established to raise millions for the project.

Health Minister James Reilly has confirmed that the hospital, the location for which is set to be announced today, will not be completed by the 2016 deadline.

Separately, the Irish Examiner has learned that there are legal doubts surrounding the body established to raise millions for the project.
