Does Mr. Menton agree that, in the spirit of partnership, those of us who have been elected to the Oireachtas to represent the people's interests in this country should be given more time to allow for the tripartite discussion to examine dropping the question of clinical appropriateness? There seems to be some flexibility on the part of St. Vincent’s Holdings and the National Maternity Hospital on the issue, and it does seem to be required to ensure a maternity hospital will be a maternity hospital.
