Additional money was set aside for mental health services in two tranches, one of which amounted to €16 million. I am thinking outside the box. I have been talking to family members who have requests. Would it be possible to move the existing residents across the road into the Midleton Community Hospital section? If the building is not fit for purpose, is it possible, as our guests have suggested, to knock it down and replace it? Can that be done? There are things I would include on a wish list that are not going to happen. I know this is based on trust, belief and whatever else. Is there a guarantee that the existing services and associated services will be protected, will not be reduced and will be improved? Is there any way the HSE can give that commitment to the committee?
