Brian Stanley: If members want to come in a second time, I ask those online to signal by using the raise hand function and those in the room to raise their hands. There was a meeting with local public representatives, councillors and Deputies last week to discuss the Abbeyleix facility with HSE senior management. Mr. Curran's colleague from HSE estates was there. It was a reasonably positive meeting. In...

Brian Stanley: I want Mr. Curran to come back to me on the bricks-and-mortar part. This really is a pressing issue. When places are closed it can be hard to open them again. At the meeting last week, the day-care centre in Monastrevin was mentioned as a case in point. It is really important. HSE management were present at that meeting and I do not want to misrepresent what they said. The case was made...

Brian Stanley: Will Ms O'Neill come back with a response on the number of beds in use? It has increased by three this week. It increased by three on Monday. That has to be welcomed. It followed the meeting last week. However there are 20 beds there to use. Will Ms O'Neill come back to me on the progress that will be made on that and why the rest of the beds are not open at this point?

Brian Stanley: If Mr. Reid is able to answer that question, and is happy to do so, he may proceed. I know that it is an issue. It is an issue in my own constituency. The Deputy is correct that the schemes have collapsed, both the dental treatment services scheme, DTSS, and the schools scheme. Is Mr. Reid able to respond to that for Deputy Munster?

Brian Stanley: Is Deputy Munster okay with that? Does she have another question?
- Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)
Brian Stanley: The issue raised by Deputy Munster, while not listed on the agenda, is a burning issue across the State. Given these schemes are funded by the Department, I ask that Ms McGirr would come back to the committee with an update on them. The adult dental services scheme for medical card patients has collapsed right across the country. There is not a dentist in County Laois or, as mentioned by...
