Not only will I consider it but I will visit the unit. I will talk to the staff to understand the space and dynamic that service users view. They should not be there in the first place, for different reasons, but they need to be there.
I will ask Mr. Tierney to come in on this point to speak about some of the capital programmes. I am also conscious that the hospital itself, and not just the unit or the clinical lead, must advance the case to the HSE. I am not aware of that having been done, but perhaps Mr. Tierney is. I ask him to come in on Mullingar more broadly, if that would be helpful.
