There are renewed calls for the deal over the new National Maternity Hospital to be renegotiated.
The plan to hand ownership to the Sisters of Charity in exchange for land at the site at St Vincent’s continues to cause outrage, despite assurances by the Health Minister that there would be no religious interference in the running of the new facility.
Well known consultant oncologist at St Vincent’s, Professor John Crown, says he continues to be troubled by the ownership problem but adds that if the country ends up without a new hospital, nobody wins.
