Adelaide Hospital annual report for the year ended 31st December 1995.

Abstract

The prospect of 1995 was an optimistic, if challenging, one for the Board of Management. The final ratification of the Charter of the Adelaide & Meath Hospital, Dublin (incorporating the National Children's Hospital) by all three Boards of Management within the MANCH Group was tantalisingly close, but considerable effort was still required to ensure that this was achieved. The agreed draft was finally submitted to Government in August, 1995 and subject to approval by the office of the Attomey General and the Houses of the Oireachtas will take legal effect early in 1996. In tandem with Charter negotiations, much other work was done to assure a prosperous future for the Adelaide Hospital Society. A primary object of the Society is to support through charitable donations and other means, the Adelaide & Meath Hospital, Dublin (incorporating the National Children's Hospital) after the transfer of the Adelaide to the new hospital at Tallaght. The Cy pres scheme was approved by the High Court on 13th February, 1995. The effect of this was to separate the Adelaide Hospital Society, its property and other assets, from the Adelaide Hospital (Incorporated).
