## Resource

The National Children’s Hospital is in crisis as BAM misses 19 deadlines and costs soar to €2.2 billion. The health minister demands new BAM leadership — including acting exec John Wilkinson — step in hands-on to fix delays, poor site staffing, and costly rework on critical systems like surgical floors and ventilation. She insists BAM must deliver without redoing work and refuses to set a new deadline, urging them simply to “turn up and do the work” — so kids can get the care they need, when they need it.
