Consideration of Public Petition on Saving the Services of the Owenacurra Centre in Cork: Discussion (Resumed)
Martin Browne (Tipperary, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I have just one more question before allowing others to contribute. Was Owenacurra chosen just on a financial basis? None of the recommendations we have seen states it should have been closed. The Mental Health Commission has consistently given the wards of St. Stephen's and St. Finbarr's hospitals lower compliance ratings than Owenacurra. Was Owenacurra chosen for closure on a financial basis rather than anything else?
