I appreciate the effect the discommoding of family members would have and the disorientation involved in moving them away from familiar settings. I have one final question. My proposal still stands. This has been a very positive engagement. I thank the family members for being here.
The report we received at our most recent meeting with the HSE states that each resident is being assessed to ascertain what kind of placement would best meet his or her needs and that process is led by consultant psychiatrists. Where are we at with that in the case of residents of Owenacurra? Has that happened? What has been the level of engagement?
