Ms Laverne McGuinness:

The facility is not closed and is not closing at the moment. An issue arose in terms of the amount of money that was spent, which is the subject of an internal audit report. Fire safety regulations were not complied with which would have been had the project been appropriately procured in the first instance with the estates directorate.

We have ensured for the benefit of the 18 residents that the facility is as safe as it possibly can be. However, it still does not have disability access but this is not an issue for current residents. The Mental Health Commission is carrying out a review of it. That amount of money also takes into account expenditure on the day facility and other facilities on the site that are being used.
