HSE CEO Prof Brendan Drumm has said he is confident that the three Dublin maternity hospitals will be able to move to their new locations as planned in the next five-to-seven years, despite the current economic climate.
The Coombe Hospital is due to move to the site of Tallaght Hospital, the Rotunda Hospital is due to move to the site of the Mater Hospital, while the National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street, is due to move to the site of St Vincent’s University Hospital.
Despite overcrowding and a need for modern facilities being well documented in all three maternity hospitals there have been fears that their development plans would have to be shelved due to a freeze in the HSE’s capital budget.
However, Prof Drumm told IMN the move would go ahead.
