Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts Special Report No. 93: Annualised Hours of the Prison Service
9:00 am
Mr. Jimmy Martin:
The Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum is a HSE facility at the moment. It is for what is termed forensic mental health services. The facility takes people who are found not guilty by reason of insanity. It takes prisoners because it is secure. The facility also takes people from the civil mental health side as well. It is run by the HSE. We are the largest client, so to speak, but it is run by the HSE and it will continue to be run by the HSE.
