Hello everyone.

Is it possible to rephrase �St Mary�s hospital� into �St Mary�s Hospital� in the last sentence of the passage below?
(http://www.guardian.co.uk/frontpage/story/0,,1710736,00.html)

Shirley Butler, the project manager of one pilot which has tested the abortions with 172 women patients since 2004, told the Guardian: "We haven't had any significant problems apart from one woman who had a slightly heavy bleed. In my opinion medical abortions outside of acute hospitals seem to be safe." She added that women who took part in the trial were positive about it.
Ms Butler stressed that the results were preliminary and were now being officially evaluated. She also asked for her hospital not to be named for fear of reprisal attacks from pro-life campaigners. St Mary's hospital in London confirmed that it is undertaking the second trial.

Best regards,
Fw

Hospital is a common noun and does not need a capital letter at the start but, if hospital in this context is actually meant as part of the name, it should have a capital H as names are proper nouns and require a capital letter.
