Mr. Morrison used the excuse of the Mental Health Commission. We know that the commission has been more critical of the facilities to which the HSE is proposing to send the current residents. There is no justification there and this was certainly used as an excuse.
There is a significant population of approximately 92,000 to 94,000 people in east Cork. What is Mr. Morrison’s assessment of need for high-dependency mental health residential facilities is that area?
