The Taoiseach Enda Kenny has promised “complete clinical independence” in the running of the new National Maternity Hospital, writes Elaine Loughlin of the Irish Examiner.
It comes as Government continues to come under pressure over the decision to grant the Sisters of Charity ownership of the hospital.
The religious order will own the €300m taxpayer-funded hospital, because the order owns the St Vincent’s Hospital campus on which it is to be built.
Under questioning in the Dáil, Mr Kenny said: “I can confirm that there will be complete clinical independence and that the Sisters of Charity will not have a majority on the board.”
