The Government has been accused of “losing control” of the new National Children’s Hospital project while a procurement expert has said it could be 18 months before a child is treated there.

That is after Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said the contractors BAM submitted a new finish date for their part in the build but did not say what this date is, during an interview with RTÉ.
