St Vincent’s Hospital Healthcare Group will meet this week to review its offer of a free site for the new National Maternity Hos- pital at its Dublin 4 campus.
The board of St Vincent’s, which is providing the site to build the much-needed new hospital, is angry at the adverse public reaction to the decision to allow the Sisters of Charity to own the facility.
If it pulls the plug, it will mean another delay in the bid to find a new site for the €300m hospital, which currently occupies an outdated building in Holles Street.
A leaked copy of the 25-page agreement, worked out between the boards of Holles Street and St Vincent’s, appears to confirm reassurances about the autonomy of the new hospital, stating that it will be protected by its own independent company.
