Children's hospital review will cost 'up to €450,000 plus VAT'

A review by business consultants PWC, of the massive cost overrun linked to building a new children’s hospital, is likely to cost well in excess of the €450,000 originally mooted which does not include VAT or expenses.

The information has emerged on foot of a parliamentary question from Sinn Féin's Jonathan O’Brien who asked Health Minister Simon Harris for the revised cost of the PWC report.
