Dr. Peter Boylan:

The governors of the National Maternity Hospital are to vote and agree when all of the legal documents and agreements with St. Vincent's have been made public and given to us as governors. I am one of many life governors. At the annual general meeting of the hospital, in response to a question I asked, the deputy chair assured us that we would have an opportunity to review all the papers and vote on whether we approved of what was proposed in the relationship between the National Maternity Hospital and St. Vincent's. That has not yet happened. I wrote to the deputy chair today to ask him when he intends to call an extraordinary general meeting so that we can make that decisions as governors. It requires the approval of the governors first.
