National Maternity Hospital: Statements

============================================================

Róisín Shortall (SD), Dublin North-West

I want to go back to the term “clinically appropriate” and the reason there is no definition of it. That is particularly baffling given that there are six pages of definitions in the lease agreement. Across all of the other legal documents that have been released, there are pages and pages of definitions. Why is there no definition of the term “clinically appropriate” given the confusion that seems to exist around it?
