I recall that the last time I answered a question on this issue - for Deputy Catherine Byrne - the issue of having St. James's Hospital take it over as a sort of step-down facility arose. While I am open to correction, my recollection is that the hospital's licence to operate does not allow it to operate a facility off-site or off-campus.
