Projects face cut due to €1.4bn hospital
New hospital services and projects could be cancelled or significantly delayed as a direct result of the runaway €1.4bn cost of the national children’s hospital.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar admitted the situation before the Cabinet prepares to sign off on the HSE’s budget plan for next year, confirming that the cost of the hospital has ballooned “way beyond what we had ever anticipated”.
