Update 1.15pm: Dr Rhona Mahony, the Master of the National Maternity Hospital, has said she is happy to move her hospital to the grounds of St Vincent’s Hospital under the stipulations of the current deal.
Speaking on Today with Sean O’Rourke, Dr Mahony said there was a triple lock in place to guarantee the NMH’s autonomy and clinical independence remains intact.
“There is a triple lock in place to guarantee absolute autonomy and independence of the clinical services we deliver. If this does not go ahead, and if we’re going to mix this really important critical development for women with redress scheme, are we going to punish women further in this country by actually interfering and getting in the way of building a hospital that is so urgently needed for women.”
