Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care
A Vision for Change: Update from Health Service Executive
10:00 am
Mr. Jim Ryan:
We secured funding and renovated a unit for an additional ten beds. The difficulty is that we cannot staff the unit at the moment. The new hospital will have 170 beds when it opens in 2020. This will assist in addressing the waiting list. Forensic bed numbers in Ireland are still below the international average.
