View answerMy Department is advised by the Eastern Regional Health Authority that the National Maternity Hospital is currently finalising plans for an interim development on the existing site and that proposals in this regard will shortly be submitted through the authority to the Department for consideration. The question of the relocation of the hospital to another site is the subject of ongoing consultation between the hospital, the ERHA and my Department.
