The Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly, emphasizes the need for independent scrutiny of the June 2025 completion date proposed by builders BAM for the National Children’s Hospital. He stresses the importance of contractual compliance and validity, which must be verified by an independent contract administrator.
During a meeting with Royal BAM, the parent company of BAM Ireland, Minister Donnelly reiterated the government’s position and requested early access for operational commissioning activities. The integration of three hospitals and workforces will be crucial in preparing for the opening of the new hospital.
Ensuring transparency and accountability in the construction process is essential to deliver a high-quality healthcare facility for children. Minister Donnelly’s commitment to overseeing the project’s progress underscores the government’s dedication to providing exceptional care for the nation’s youth.
