I will echo Deputy Sherlock's comment on that. For the HSE to come to a meeting like this and not have the costs to hand is disappointing. I will move on.

A Camberwell assessment of need was mentioned in the report. Was this the first time this type of assessment was used? I ask because it is used as a comprehensive assessment of people with severe mental health problems. One of the indicators in the Camberwell assessment of need is to show deficiencies in the accommodation in which residents live, and whether these have a detrimental impact on their mental health and safety.

If it was used in the past, why was it not acted on in the current situation? If it was not used in the past, why? This is the standard bearer for assessments for people who have acute mental health needs.
