Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Decongregation of Mental Health Settings: Mental Health Commission
Mr. John Farrelly:
There is no doubt the facilities in Cork, west and east, are behind the rest of the country. None of the options for people are great. We have had more enforcement actions in Cork than in the rest of the country. A capital plan is needed nationally, but a specific plan is needed for Cork. As the Senator said, we need a plan for Cork that ensures the services in Cork are aligned to the needs of Cork. The money needs to be allocated for that.
