Contractor building new National Children’s Hospital ‘needs to step up’By David Young, PAThe contractor building the new National Children’s Hospital needs to “step up” and divert more resources to complete construction in line with agreed timelines, the Minister for Health has said. The Minister said contractor BAM was seeking to push the handover date back from March next year to May. The Covid-19 pandemic further disrupted project timelines. “The contractor has submitted a revised programme of works that I believe shifts the handover date from March to May. “But my position on this is very clear – the contractor needs to step up, the contractor needs to deploy sufficient resources to bring this project in according to… the latest timelines that it gave, which were March,” he added.
