The Sisters of Charity have announced they’ll give up ownership of the St Vincent’s Hospital Group – including any stake in the new National Maternity Hospital.

The nuns have confirmed they’ll relinquish their shares in the group with immediate effect and transfer them to a new charity, simply known as St Vincent’s.

A new independent board is to be appointed within 12 months and the land they own at Elm Park will be sold to the Vincent’s group at commercial terms.
