Health authorities warn that the hospital’s late completion not only disrupts planning and funding, but also delays access to vital services for young patients.
The long-awaited National Children’s Hospital project looks set to miss another critical milestone, its sixteenth missed deadline in just five years.

Health authorities warn that the hospital’s late completion not only disrupts planning and funding, but also delays access to vital services for young patients.
As debate intensifies over accountability and oversight, stakeholders are pressing for a firm and credible new timeline.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill criticised the way work is being carried out, saying it isn’t happening in a logical or sequential way.
