I am not a member of a health board but I know that they have a remit to inspect hospitals. They do this on an ongoing basis. This provides a watchdog to ensure that everything is in order. It would be remiss not to recognise that there are problems in the whole psychiatric area, but the Minister cannot be blamed for all of them. Staff shortage is a major problem. Despite vigorous advertising in the national media and the medical press many of the posts remain unfilled. The staff of the psychiatric services should be commended for their dedication and commitment. This is true across the board, for nurses, doctors, social workers and psychologists.
