People have lost confidence in both the health system and the Minister of Health. Indeed, they have lost confidence in all four Ministers in the Department. There are scandals whereby people are dying. I will just mention the CervicalCheck scandal whereby women are dying unnecessarily. There is now the escalating cost of the children's hospital, whereby the Government is going to pay €500,000 for another report to find out what happened. Where were the Ministers for Justice, and Equality, Health and Finance when this was happening? In March 2017, our little group highlighted that the proposed site is the wrong location in which to build the hospital. The reason we provided in that regard related to the fact that the cost of getting the materials in and out of where the hospital is to be built will drive the Government's projected cost up to the moon.

I thank the Deputy. The time is up.

The Government did not listen. There are many parties here that did not support our motion and now they are jumping up and down to see what happened.

The time is up.

Is the health system running on autopilot? Where are the Ministers for Health and Finance? Is there any accountability on the part of the Government in the context of what is happening?

The Deputy is out of time.

When will the new appraisal for capital projects be done? Where is the new community hospital for Killarney on that capital project list? When is it going to happen? We were promised it would happen in 2021. Where does the matter stand?

I call Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick on the same matter.

Everybody is talking about this matter but for the wrong reason. The new children's hospital is expected to open in August 2022. The projected cost is €1.73 billion. I accept that we need the children's hospital. On 18 December last, the Taoiseach informed the Dáil that the project would cost €1.43 million. In 2017, I was informed that it would cost €983 million. In 2016, when planning permission was granted, we were told that the project would cost €650 million, which is one third of the current estimate. My big fear - I do not say this lightly - is that there is a cartel holding sway here. The €650 million in 2016 was 20% cheaper than the second quote. There is something serious going on here. Someone has taken his or her eye off the ball.

The Taoiseach is the leader of the country. Deputy Harris is the Minister for Health. The National Paediatric Hospital Development Board is responsible for the new children's hospital. I reiterate that someone has to take responsibility. The Taoiseach should not forget that it was taxpayers who got this country up and running again. What is the problem? Could the Taoiseach please confirm whether the consultants, PricewaterhouseCoopers, are being paid €450,000 to review this dog's dinner of a situation for which someone is responsible?

First, I cannot confirm the figure. Second, the Minister is before the Joint Committee on Health taking questions on the matter. That is where Deputies will find him if they are looking for him.

So he is back then.

I do not have any evidence of a cartel. If Deputy Fitzpatrick is aware of any evidence which indicates-----

The bid was 20% cheaper.

-----that a crime has occurred, it should be furnished to the National Consumer and Competition Authority.

The site is a crime. It is the wrong site.
