The Psychiatric Nurses Association and the RCSI engaged in a detailed review. The HSE also carried out a review.

What was put forward was positive. I am aware of ten areas where there are deficiencies. I would like to analyse them further and determine what is needed, such as how many high-observation beds are required. I would like a timeline within which improvements can be achieved. I would like targets and key performance indicators to be set. We could then begin to break through and determine what is needed to improve the situation over a certain timeline. If we achieved that, it would be great, but if we do not we need to determine why.
