Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Closure of Owenacurra Centre: Engagement with HSE

Mr. Mark Kane:

I can only answer from a buildings perspective. In respect of when decisions were made, I will hand over to my service colleagues. Before I do so, it is important to note two critical points. The Mental Health Commission described the premises in Owenacurra as a critical risk. We have very few facilities containing bedrooms of 7.5 sq. m. with no en suites. I do not think anyone here would support a continued use of premises-----
