I am particularly concerned about what led the Tánaiste to come to that conclusion. I refer to it being important that this new hospital would be State-owned and on State land. I have another question regarding the board of the St. Vincent’s Healthcare Group and its stated values being the stated values of the Religious Sisters of Charity. We have gone backwards and forwards on this issue. In regard to one detail in this respect, though, who appoints senior consultants now and who will appoint senior consultants to the new national maternity hospital?
