Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (29 Sep 2022) Brian Stanley: Okay. I will ask the representatives of the HSE to respond to the Deputy with a written answer. They do not have the information this morning. It is a valid question. The witnesses do not have the answer with them now and therefore I ask them to respond to the Deputy with that information in writing. I call Deputy Dillon.

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (29 Sep 2022) Brian Stanley: I have some questions for Ms Kennedy regarding CHO 8. I will keep the questions short and the answers should be as short as possible. The capital spend on CH0 8 for 2021 was €5.9 million. which appears to be very low. Will she confirm that €100,000 was spent on Erkina House in Rathdowney, County Laois? I do not want to be abrupt but a yes-no will do.

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (29 Sep 2022) Brian Stanley: Can I ask Ms Eyres a question in relation to this? The HSE in Laois-Offaly, as I understand it, the Laois-Offaly part of CHO, 8, has said, and the management team have told me and others at meetings, that the plan is to provide four ten-bed units. Is it correct that there were 12 patients in Erkina House during the pandemic who had single-room accommodation, that there is only one large...

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (29 Sep 2022) Brian Stanley: I thank Ms Eyres. Is Erkina House being considered in terms of the option appraisal as being for use as one of those four units in Laois-Offaly that the HSE requires for residents with mental health issues?

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (29 Sep 2022) Brian Stanley: I met the consultants who are doing that option appraisal. What I am asking Ms Eyres is, from a geographical and strategic point of view, from the HSE's position, obviously, it has asked the consultants to carry out that work. That is fine. I met it and that was satisfactory, and I thank the HSE for that. I am asking is Erkina House in the frame as one of those units.

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (29 Sep 2022) Brian Stanley: Finally, on Abbeyleix, the location for the day care centre has to be on that site. The HSE went through a process of going around other towns in the area and seeing what was available, in terms of houses or premises. The location is there because it has the services onsite. There is a four-acre site there. The HSE has loads of space on it. It is right in the middle of the geographical...
