The board of the National Children’s Hospital has dismissed warnings that the new facility is facing further significant cost and time overruns, claiming any alterations are “minor”.

In a statement, the board said there has been no material change to the design of the new hospital and the remedial work to ceilings will not impact on the completion date of the facility.
