The 25-page agreement between Holles Street Hospital and the St Vincent’s Healthcare Group on the new National Maternity Hospital has been published this evening by the two hospitals.
It says there will be “clinical independence in the provision of maternity, gynaecology, obstetrics and neonatal services (without religious, ethnic or other distinction) in the hospital”.
There will be “legal autonomy of hospital operations” and “protection of State investment and interests”.
The agreement does not specifically state that any medical procedure which is in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Ireland will be carried out at the new hospital however St Vincent’s says this is the case.
