A chara, – Our new national children’s hospital could be ready for patients in 2026 (News, October 19th), six years after the original completion date. Construction of the Sydney Opera House was expected to take four years, but it took 14 years. Let’s be very careful if we ever try to build a national children’s opera house. – Is mise,
