The document discusses the renaming of hospital groups in Ireland. It lists the existing hospital groups and notes that each group must agree on a new name. It mentions that names will not be limited by geography. One group, Saolta, is highlighted for using an Irish language name that translates to "lives" or "life" to represent their focus on patients. The brand mark for Saolta is also described as featuring three abstract figures to represent patients being at the heart of their organization.
