Dr. Sinead O'Brien:

The Camberwell assessment of need is one of the rehabilitation assessment tools that can be used. There were ongoing multidisciplinary assessments taking place with the individuals in the Owenacurra Centre. The Deputy is right that the Camberwell tool indicates whether a need is met or unmet. While the individuals are residing in the Owenacurra Centre a certain proportion of people's needs are met. For a number of individuals it was always in the plan that they were planning to move to more independent accommodation, some stepping to high-support hostels and others going into community living. In terms of whether a need is met, it is very much individual determination whether that person has all his or her needs met at that point in time, but we also need to enable individuals to live the best life they can and some people are clearly requesting that they live in a more independent setting in the future.
