The former master of the National Maternity Hospital on Holles Street has criticised the decision to hand ownership of its new site at St Vincent’s to a religious group as “completely inappropriate”.
Peter Boylan says he believes giving ownership of the new hospital to the Sisters of Charity will lead to implications in the provision of healthcare and other medical procedures down the line.
Last month it was reported that the group, which owns the St Vincent’s site where the new National Maternity Hospital will be built, will be given “sole ownership” of the €300m facility.
The move has been widely criticised this week, with a petition against the move attracting over 50,000 signatures so far and a series of protests planned across the week.
