THE FORMER MASTER of the National Maternity Hospital has said that he will refuse to resign from its board despite being asked to do so.
Last week, Dr. Peter Boylan went public with his criticism of the decision to locate the new National Maternity Hospital on the site of St. Vincent’s Hospital and place it under the ownership of religious order the Sisters of Charity.
The order’s ownership of the future hospital has led to concerns that Catholic doctrine may influence medical practices.
The decision to approve the move was overwhelmingly backed by the board of the National Maternity Hospital. Boylan is a member of that board and abstained in the vote.
