Suzanne Crowe: Placing architectural objections ahead of the interests of patients is obnoxious
"Staff and hospital managers have come to a point where it is untenable to continue as they are. My daughter was born five months premature and spent weeks in a Dublin neonatal unit before she came home. We were grateful for the wonderful treatment she received. Her care took place in the cramped confines of a typical ageing hospital building, extended with portable and temporary structures. It was largely unsuitable for modern maternity and critical-care medicine."

My daughter was born five months premature and spent weeks in a Dublin neonatal unit before she came home. The family was grateful for the wonderful treatment she received. Her care took place in the cramped confines of a typical ageing hospital building, extended with portable and temporary structures. The facilities were makeshift and crowded, limiting the space and infrastructure available for neonatal care. It was largely unsuitable for modern maternity and critical-care medicine. Staff and hospital managers have come to a point where it is untenable to continue as they are. The combination of high-quality clinical care and inadequate physical conditions highlights a gap between clinical capability and facility environment.
