The word "forced" is nowhere to be found in the mental health commission's report. This is what the Deputy does. He had a story in the Irish Daily Staron Tuesday, 9 April and the alarmist element of his statements really worries me. I have a copy of the story in which he states people under 18 years who are admitted to adult acute units are left unsupervised. He also states that while staff may be vetted by the Garda, he wonders about the other patients. This is really striking fear into the parents of children in distress.
