The State body responsible for the new National Children’s Hospital has said “significant progress” was made in 2024 in terms of performance management on the much-delayed project, despite a trebling in legal fees.

The National Paediatric Health Development Board ( NPHDB) said it conducted an annual review of the effectiveness of the internal controls on March 12, 2025.
