I suspect that is how rumours grow. It is not too far from the town in walking distance.

Mr. Fitzgerald mentioned the ten-bed unit and the specialist care. He is right on the specialist care but these people cannot live independently at home. They need this specialist respite. Even the short-term respite is there to give families relief. That is the kind of care that we still need in the town. I understand where Mr. Fitzgerald is coming from but if we lose those services, families are going to struggle.
