What is Dr. Boylan's response when practically all of the midwives in that hospital are in favour of building a new national maternity hospital and do not in any way feel they will be compromised or that the services they are providing at the moment will not be provided in that new national maternity hospital? In addition to that are the managers of the 19 maternity services around the country who have come together to support the proposal and the 52 clinicians who have also come out in favour of it. What I am trying to understand is why Dr. Boylan is at variance with such a groundswell of medical opinion that this is the right thing to do.
