I have spoken at some length with obstetricians and people working in the maternity services. What they have said is that the physical co-design matters greatly. For example, a corridor through which one can very quickly get mothers into the adult hospital and babies into the children's hospital is very important. Does Mr. Barry know whether the children's hospital has been designed with a view to where the maternity hospital is likely to be with a view to making sure that all of those connections can be put in place when the maternity hospital is built?
