Dr. Jenny Walsh:

I agree. On the need piece, we have the capacity and demand to fill the campus in its current location. Over time, the Rotunda and the Coombe will also have increased service demands. Ultimately, co-location is a policy for all maternity hospitals. I do not think we have a concern that falling birth numbers or the geographical location of the hospital will affect demand; if anything, it will be the opposite. There will not be many women in Dublin who will be offered a single, en suite private room for all of their antenatal and postnatal stay who will not make that extra journey in a benign setting.
