Written answers

Children's Health Ireland has advised that the operating expenditure forecast for the new children’s hospital and urgent care centres when open is estimated at €366m for 2023 (including the Managed Equipment Service, ICT operational costs, increased activity and the new hospital operating model). These costings are subject to revision in the light of nationally agreed pay increases, non-pay inflation and other external factors arising in the interim. Operation costs beyond 2023 will be dealt with through the normal annual estimates process and will be affected by pay and non-pay inflation and normal service developments.
