Professor Colette Cowan:

Yes, and so many other things. The maternity hospital is in the Ireland 2040 plan launched by Leo Varadkar. It is up there, in between plans for Holles Street and the Rotunda. It is well recognised that we have fantastic maternity services in the mid-west but they are off-campus, which is a risk in itself. We have developed large plans. We are just working up the feasibility study but it will be an extensive piece of work. We will have to do enabling works to bring it on-campus. It will be a ten-year plan to bring maternity services across to UHL.
