Question 606: To ask the Minister for Health if he will establish if it is the case that persons presenting at Cavan General Hospital with mental health issues, including acutely unwell persons, are obliged to firstly present at the already overcrowded and overworked accident and emergency department rather than going directly to the new mental health admissions unit in the hospitals basement; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter the question has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
