Ownership of the land is crucial to ensure the hospital will be used for what it is intended to be used for, but so is the term "clinically appropriate". Mr. Menton is doubling down on this need to be sure that the maternity hospital is going to be used as a maternity hospital. What is his fear? Is it that if the hospital went into the ownership of the HSE, it might one day be opened as a fun park? Why does he have to double down on both of these controversial counts relating to ownership and clinical appropriateness?
