Proposed Closure of Cuisle Accessible Holiday and Respite Care Resort: Discussion
Ms Rosemary Keogh:
We have been inundated. I apologise if we have not been able to get back to everyone.
We have discussed the procurement process. We began it a number of months ago as a contingency to ensure that, if we got to the point of having to close Cuisle, which we only reached on 18 October, we would be able to provide a service to our members from spring of next year and they would not be left without a holiday in 2020. That is why the process was started a couple of months ago. We had a backup plan. The last thing we wanted to be doing was announcing that we had to close Cuisle when there was no alternative service in place.
