Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (Resumed)

Professor Shane Higgins:

I will answer those questions but others here could also do so. Ms Murphy can take on the wholly owned subsidiary issue. It is not a wholly owned subsidiary. The Minister has a golden share. That is an important point. Ms Murphy might also talk to the governance of the hospital.

On "clinically appropriate", there are three stakeholders in the creation of this suite of documents. I understand and appreciate the concern although it was never the intention of the words "clinically appropriate" to cause that level of concern. We have no issue with defining the term or, if the three parties agree, with its removal from the documents. I state that on behalf of the National Maternity Hospital.
