âIt has been suggested that since construction costs will be covered by public funds the facility should be placed in public ownership, including the land on which it is built,â he said.
âWe believe that this argument is not correct in its interpretation of the facts and also that it fails to recognise the extensive protection provided to the State regarding the use of the facility once it is built.â
Care pathways
He said that âany separation of ownership or governance would disrupt the seamless care pathways that are planned for all patients on the enlarged campus, which would lead to concerns over responsibilities and liabilities in each hospital, separation of care teams by hospital and the use of transfer protocols that could cause restrictions or delays on physical movement of patients between hospitals, with increased risk to patients.â
