Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Closure of Owenacurra Centre: Engagement with HSE
James O'Connor (Cork East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
The HSE is in the process of trying to obtain an existing day care centre. I believe it has actually identified a location. As Mr. Kane knows well, I am talking about a residential mental healthcare service that has 24-hour staffing and supervision. If the square footage of the site is an issue, no one would be disappointed or upset at reducing the current number of beds by a fraction to accommodate the construction there of a new, purpose-built residential facility. How many rooms are in the Owenacurra centre? Dr. O'Brien has the answer.
