Cabinet Ministers have decided to hold off on approving proposals to relocate the National Maternity Hospital at a site at St Vincent’s campus.
A Cabinet source said Fine Gael and Green Party female Cabinet Ministers raised concerns about the plan to push ahead with the development of the new hospital and sought assurances from Health Minister Stephen Donnelly that all legal services including abortion would be accessible to women at the new maternity hospital.
A Cabinet source said Green Party Minister Catherine Martin was “very vocal” about the framework governing the move.
