Securing the party's support will be crucial for the Government if the sale of the hospice is to proceed.

Greens health spokeswoman Amanda Bresnan had a meeting with Little Company of Mary chairman Tom Brennan yesterday.

The pair attended a heated public forum about the ACT Government's sale of Clare Holland House as part of a deal to buy back Calvary Hospital from the Catholic health provider on Thursday.

''The LCM, they have a bit of an attitude that they know the interests of the ACT better than the elected representatives,'' Ms Bresnan said.

''I don't know if that's helpful and I don't necessarily see that he [Mr Brennan] is listening to the community and what we are saying and that does concern me.''
