Deputy Kevin Humphreys asked the Minister for Health in respect of capital building projects under the remit of his Department and the building programmes planned for 2014, if he will outline the impact the new building control regulations 2013, that come into effect on 1 March, will have on the costs of each specific project; if he will list the projects under way; the extra costs that will be incurred on each project due to increased professional fees and increased supervision; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Health

Managing the delivery of healthcare construction projects is a service matter. Therefore your question has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply.

In relation to the smaller agencies directly funded by my Department, information in relation to the impact of the new Building Control Regulations 2013 on building projects currently underway is not available at the moment. Such information will forwarded on its receipt.
