The dispute over the relocation of the National Maternity Hospital to St Vincent’s University Hospital looks set to come before the NMH’s annual general meeting next month. Former NMH master Dr Peter Boylan has written to the board of the hospital seeking to have his objection to the relocation plan put on the agenda of the agm in June. As reported by The Irish Times on Saturday, Dr Boylan has called for the resignation of deputy chairman Nicky Kearns over his handling of the project. In the letter, he also objects to the assertion he is trying to obstruct or derail the relocation project. Under legislation dating back to the early 20th century, control of the maternity hospital lies with it 79 governors, who include Dr Boylan.
