Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Peter Boylan:

I could not really talk about the lease and changes to the licence and all of that. On the permitted use, I can say that if the permitted use is restricted to women's healthcare in general, as we have discussed, and if there is overflow from St. Vincent's into vacant rooms when there is overcrowding in St. Vincent's Hospital, as discussed with Deputy Bríd Smith earlier, then I am not sure whether or not that triggers the crossing of the barrier of permitted use and if it would fire the gun for the €850,000 per year rent. I do not know that but this would be a violation of the permitted use clause.
