Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Closure of Owenacurra Centre: Engagement with HSE

Dr. Sinead O'Brien:

With respect to St. Stephen's Hospital, issues regarding the premises have been highlighted. Mr. Kane can advise on some of the works that have been done on the campus to address some of the issues highlighted in order to improve compliance. Regardless of that, it is fair to say that we will be looking for significant investment in the St. Stephen's Hospital site to develop a modern focused service where we can focus on rehabilitation and the psychiatry of later life.
