By email to [email protected] 15th January, 2015 Mr. Billy Kelleher, T.D. Dáil Éireann, DUBLIN 2. Re/ Parliamentary Question No 1073/16 “To ask the Minister for Health his response to the master of the Rotunda Hospital setting down conditions for its relocation to Connolly Hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter” and Parliamentary Question No 1076/16 “To ask the Minister for Health if the relocation of the Rotunda Hospital is conditional on the upgrading of services at Connolly Hospital akin to what is currently available at the Mater Hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter” Dear Deputy Kelleher, The Health Service Executive has been requested to reply directly to you in the context of the above Parliamentary Questions which you submitted to the Minister for Health for response. The Rotunda Hospital is a voluntary hospital with its own board of Governors providing maternity, neonatology and gynaecology services to women and families. It is part of the RCSI Hospitals Group and the Group has agreed that it is the clinical leader in providing maternity and gynaecology services across the various hospitals within the Group, particularly in Drogheda, Cavan and Monaghan. The Department of Health recommended that the best site for co-location of The Rotunda Hospital with an adult hospital, in line with best international practice, is at the campus of the Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown. The campus has both greenfield and brownfield space to allow the development of a number of new healthcare buildings and facilities and the redevelopment of some existing services. Those form part of the overall development plan for the Connolly campus. In any proposed re-location of The Rotunda Hospital, a number of conditions and criteria have been agreed in order to meet best-practice medical and clinical standards, including specialist medical services. These include adding further facilities and resources at the Connolly Hospital campus to meet the needs and requirements of a large-scale maternity hospital that will be handling up to 12,000 births each year. I trust this information is of assistance. Kind regards. Yours sincerely, ________________________ Sheila McGuinness Group Director of Nursing & Midwifery RCSI Hospitals Group [email protected] .

The Chronological History of the Rotunda Hospital
HISTORY OF THE HOSPITAL In 1745 Bartholomew Mosse, surgeon and man-midwife, founded the original Dublin Lying-In Hospital as a maternity training hospital, the first of its kind. In 1757 the institution moved to a different location where it became “The New Lying-In Hospital”. This is the hospital complex that is referred to today as simply “The Rotunda”. The Rotunda Hospital is therefore unique as an institution in that it has continued to provide an unbroken record of service to women and babies since its foundation in 1745 and has occupied its present premises since 1757. Should you wish to learn more about The Rotunda Hospital’s history, the book Masters, Midwives, and Ladies- in-Waiting (edited by Alan Browne, a former Master of the Rotunda, published by A&A Farmar, Dublin, 1995) gives a detailed account of developments in the Rotunda over the period 1945-95, which was the fifty-year period of greatest change in the history of obstetrical care. BARTHOLOMEW MOSSE 1712 Bartholomew Mosse was born the fifth child of Rev Thomas Mosse, Rector of Maryborough, now Portlaoise, and his wife Martha. 1728 Mosse, who had been privately educated by a tutor at home, was sent to serve as apprentice to a Barber Surgeon, Mr John Stone, in Dublin. 1733 Mosse was examined and qualified to practice as a surgeon by Mr John Nichols, joint Surgeon-General to the army in Ireland. Mosse obtained glowing testimonials from his master and his examiner. It is probable that he was surgical assistant to these men (themselves surgeons to Mercer’s and Dr Steevens’s Hospitals respectively) within a short time of his qualification.

Urgent and Emergency Care Provision in Ireland
Urgent and emergency care provision in Ireland What is urgent and emergency care? Urgent and emergency care consists of all the services which contribute to the management of people when immediate care is sought for a health condition along with the processes in place for referring patients between services. When patients need immediate care they can enter the health system through a range of services and will often use more than one. Ideally these services would be highly co-ordinated to ensure the time to definitive care is reduced and waste such as inappropriate use of emergency departments is avoided. Current provision in Ireland A wide range of services, public and private, provide emergency and urgent care in Ireland. The services within the emergency and urgent care system (EUCS) include General Practice (GP) (including out-of-hours GP co-operatives), emergency departments (EDs), urgent care centres, acute medical units (AMUs), minor injury units, ambulance services (provided by Dublin Fire Brigade and the National Ambulance Service), and pharmacies. When patients need immediate care, they can enter the health system through a range of services and will often use more than one in a single episode of illness. For example, they may phone an out-of-hours GP, be transferred by ambulance to an ED and be admitted to hospital. The combination of these services are defined as an EUCS. The provision of effective emergency and urgent care is critically dependent on all elements of the EUCS of a healthcare system (figure 1). A well-performing EUCS should improve the chances of survival in a patient with an emergency condition and an urgent condition should ideally be managed by a well- performing EUCS without admission to an inpatient bed.
