A final completion date for the new Children’s Hospital has not yet been agreed, with the hospital board saying it could take “up to three months” to assess a revised plan from the contractors.

The Department of Health has said the contractors, Bam, submitted a detailed revised plan on July 18. This is now being assessed by an independent body.
