The construction of the new children's hospital has faced numerous delays, with the completion date now pushed to September 2025, marking the fifteenth missed deadline in over four years. The shift in timeline has postponed the transfer of services from three existing hospitals, originally planned for spring, to summer 2025. The main contractor, BAM, has faced criticism for not meeting resource commitments, leading to chronic delays and spiraling costs, as discussed in the upcoming Public Accounts Committee meeting.
"In the absence of a written, contractually compliant, realistic and resource-loaded programme, the NPHDB cannot and will not simply accept BAM's ongoing deferral dates."
"The primary reason why the substantial completion date continues to move out is a lack of resourcing by BAM."
