This is the finding of a report compiled by the Northern Ireland Audit Office, which revealed the facility cost £18 million, as opposed to the target of £15 million, people with hospital doctor jobs may be interested to learn.
According to a BBC report, the new building at Altnagelvin Hospital contains a pharmacy and laboratories and is part of a £250 million redevelopment programme for the institution.
A number of factors were identified as having contributed to the overspend, including design changes, procurement delays and negotiations with the preferred bidder.
