The cost to build the National Children’s Hospital is estimated to increase by €51 million due to inflation, the Public Accounts Committee has heard.
This is an estimation of costs made during the years 2019, 2020, 2021 and the projected inflation costs for 2022.
David Gunning, chief officer at the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (NPHDB) told the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Thursday that the contract underlines that the State is liable for any inflationary costs above 4%.
