Former master of the National Maternity Hospital Dr Peter Boylan says he has resigned with immediate effect from its board.

Earlier this week he refused to resign after publicly criticising the planned move of the hospital to the St Vincent’s campus due to the deal giving ownership of the new tax-payer funded facility to the Religious Sisters of Charity.

Speaking on Newstalk, Dr Boylan said he was a lone voice, more or less, at last night’s meeting of the National Maternity Hospital board.

However, he said he was “not a lone voice” among the community and the medical profession with regard to objecting to the proposed deal for the National Maternity Hospital.
