The HSE's procedure was to seek alternative accommodation. Does it strike the HSE as strange that some of those alternative accommodations - I refer to the ten residents who have already been moved - included placements in shared rooms and on long-stay wards? I am told that alternative accommodations included St. Stephen's hospital in Glanmire and St. Finbarr's hospital in Cork. The Mental Health Commission has raised the same concerns about both of those hospitals that were raised about the centre from which these residents were moved in the first place.
