The two words that have dominated the news in recent days are "clinical appropriateness". This is with regard to the national maternity hospital, which was signed off yesterday. There is still a little hangover of an issue on it. The CEO of the HSE is answerable to the board. The board of HSE overwhelmingly approved the new national maternity hospital project. Was Mr. Reid at any of the meetings where the term "clinical appropriateness" was discussed? Will he rehearse for us again the reasons the HSE insisted on the inclusion of this term and what it means?
