Joint Committee On Health

People Detained in Secure Forensic Mental Health Facilities: Discussion

Dr. Eilion?ir Flynn:

We have to be very careful because we only interviewed a very small group of people. Everyone participated on the grounds of confidentiality. It was only staff from the Central Mental Hospital, as it is the only designated forensic setting. Accordingly, we agreed with our participants we would not reveal their disciplinary background, so I am afraid I cannot give the Senator a straightforward answer to that question.
