| Description: | It was inevitable that 1996 following the year of our 250th celebration would be
something of an anticlimax. It could not have been anticipated however the
manner in which 1996 would leave its mark. From the clinical perspective the year
brought a new and difficult problem for the hospital, and indeed society to cope
with. In 1996 we faced the difficulty of looking after 42 drug addicted babies born
to drug addicted mothers. The medical difficulties involved in detoxifying the
babies and the larger social problems that they will inevitably face on their
discharge provide an insight into a singularly unpleasant sub~culture of Dublin life.
Improving economic and social circumstances which we have taken as part of
modem Ireland have clearly not touched the environment of which these babies
will be returning. |
