Mr. Stephen Mulvany:
Acute mental health and psychiatric beds are governed by A Vision for Change policy and strategy. From recollection it refers to acute mental health beds being at the level of a population of 350,000 or 400,000, not at individual county level. The issue is access to beds not whether beds are specifically located.
