The National Children’s Hospital (NCH) contractor is “committed” to the June 2025 completion date, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has said, following a meeting with Bam Ireland's parent company. In recent weeks, the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (NPHDB) have become embroiled in a row with Bam over the project, with the board criticising the continued delays. Mr Donnelly said that BAM must now provide additional workers to the NCH site, following its commitment to a June 2025 completion deadline. The Health Minister also said that the plan to commission the hospital with equipment would be accelerated, with teams set to fit out the hospital much earlier now. Mr Donnelly said that he wanted to discuss the matter with her parents, Carol and James.
