This boils down to a few issues, that is, ethos, governance and ownership. It is as if the ethos piece has been forgotten because it seems to have been dealt with successfully. Ethos was a big issue two weeks ago for protagonists and opponents. It seems all the concerns and queries around that have been satisfied. Dr. Peter Boylan will be a witness tomorrow so I have no issue making this point when he is not here as he will have a chance to answer then. One of his major points, repeated in today's newspaper, is no Catholic-ethos hospital in the world, including St. Vincent's public and private hospitals, permits terminations. Do terminations take place at present in St. Vincent's Hospital?
