Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Decongregation of Mental Health Settings: Mental Health Commission

Dr. Susan Finnerty:

I agree with Mr. Farrelly. We issue reports and we publish every report of every inspection we do, apart from those that are on a particular individual who could be identified. They are the only reports we do not publish. Anybody can look at them, have an opinion about them or use them in any way. We do not have any control over how the reports are used. As Mr. Farrelly said, we never said we were going to deregister the Owenacurra centre. On inspection, we found issues that needed to be addressed. Mr. Kiernan and his team look after the enforcement actions and so on. We did not say Owenacurra should close.
