Has she considered the fact that the National Maternity Hospital at Holles Street today is a voluntary hospital and not a HSE-owned one? This hospital will have full clinical independence and provide every service a women needs. Dr. Rhona Mahony and Professor Declan Keane have said it. Many doctors have said it. It will be robust in its clinical, budgetary and financial independence. We are going to get it right. What we are not going to do is fail to build it, because we need this hospital.
