Joint Committee On Health: General Scheme of the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Mental Health Commission (16 Nov 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: That is a rather significant point we all need to get to the bottom of before the end of this process. If time permits, I wish to revisit a specific issue with Dr. Finnerty, which I forgot. I said I would return to the issue of approved centres. I note from the commission's opening statement there was discussion around regulation, registration, inspection and monitoring enforcement. There...

Joint Committee On Health: General Scheme of the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill 2021: Mental Health Commission (16 Nov 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: Does the commission provide guidance or information, where a premises is not fit for purpose, on care pathways to provide the least disruptive situation for those resident in the approved centres?
