Mr. Paul Reid:
Glenwood is not defined as the solution for the Owenacurra Centre. It is, potentially, a specific solution for a wider set of service needs we have in the community. In regard to the Owenacurra Centre, we have given a detailed and thorough evaluation and assessment to determine the most appropriate options. It is not the appropriate location for residents for the future. We will continue to work with residents, as we have done to date, and with their families to find the most appropriate solution. My colleague, Ms O'Neill, might wish to comment further. I assure the Deputy we have real heart in respect of this issue. We fully sympathise and are fully committed to finding the right solutions.
