Children’s hospital faces IT and planning risks
The Cabinet accepted Health Minister James Reilly’s recommendation, based on the report of an expert group, to locate the estimated €600m facility on the inner-city campus of St James’s. However, it will not open until late 2017 or early 2018, and planning and IT risks are associated with the project, according to the expert group.
Dr Reilly said the St James’s campus would be reconfigured to reduce the planning risks from “significant” to “moderate”.
