Ireland To Receive New National Maternity Hospital

Commenting on the decision, Minister for Health Simon Harris said it the news was a 'very important step' for women – and children's – healthcare in the country.

He is quoted as saying: "I am delighted that the green light has been given by An Bord Pleanala for the new maternity hospital. This is fantastic news and a very important step towards making the new standard of maternity care, heralded by the National Maternity Strategy, a reality.

"We all know that the infrastructure at NMH is outdated and now we can now look forward to a state of the art hospital where women and their babies will enjoy comfort and privacy in a modern, purpose-built environment.

"This new hospital will cater for up to 10,000 births per annum and will radically improve maternity, gynaecology and neonatal healthcare, both at local and national level. The hospital is the flagship project of the National Maternity Strategy and represents the single largest investment ever in maternity services.

"The hospital will be co-located with the St Vincent's University Hospital. This is in line with national policy and best international practice and will ensure that, where necessary, women can have immediate, on-site access, to the wider range of clinical expertise provided in the acute hospital. This concentration of medical and surgical services on a single healthcare campus, will enable the provision of better and safer care."
