Dan Neville (Limerick West, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following issue of national importance, namely, the report on the review of the care and treatment of a suicide victim in the course of her admission to the acute psychiatric inpatient unit at the Midwestern Regional Hospital in Limerick in September 2002 and, in particular, the discharge from the special care unit of St. Patrick's Hospital, the failure of communications between consultant psychiatrists, the level of training by admitting psychiatrists and the formulation of treatments planned without direct consultant assessment and the absence of a high observation unit in Limerick.
