Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Closure of Owenacurra Centre: Engagement with HSE

Mr. Michael Fitzgerald:

I will start anyway. The Deputy raised a couple of issues. The service that has been provided in the Owenacurra centre and that was registered with the Mental Health Commission was for continuing care and rehabilitation purposes. Our intention is that we will re-provide the day services in the town and, as I said earlier, we are actively pursuing that at this point in time.
