The South Dublin voluntary healthcare group has reported its heaviest loss in four years as it prepares to establish the new national maternity hospital.
Belatedly, the Oireachtas scrutinised the crucial issue of security St Vincent’s gave to its bankers over the site of the new maternity hospital on the last day before a final government decision. Better late than never.
St Vincent’s debt is secured on its land, and the pandemic relief it has obtained from the conditions attached to its debt is about to expire. Where does this leave the new maternity hospital site?
Forget the Religious Sisters of Charity – they are gone. St Vincent’s Hospital Group has its own interests, and the deal it has made with the State protects them for the long term.
