Sinn Féin MP Paul Maskey has written to the CEO of the Belfast Trust to establish the facts following news reports that the new maternity hospital at the Royal Victoria Hospital is facing further delays.
The West Belfast MP said:
“It’s disappointing to learn through a news article posted on social media that the new maternity hospital at the Royal Hospitals is facing further delays.
“I have written to the CEO of the Belfast Trust to ask for an update on the progress of the hospital and to establish the facts behind this news report.
“This new maternity hospital will be an important step in the delivery of high-quality and modern maternity care for mothers and their new born babies.
“It is crucial that the new hospital is safe for everyone and operational as soon as possible, and that these further delays are dealt with efficiently and at pace.”
