Committee on Public Petitions

Closure of Vital Health Services: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Tess O'Donovan:

That gives us the capacity back, but it has to be within the model of mental health services where residential is part of that but not the only part. We now have a psychiatry of older life in post to support the ageing adult with mental health difficulties, because that is a particular specialty. We also have a rehab consultant. There has been investment in terms of the overall service being provided in that geographical area.
