Report of the Inspector of Mental Hospitals, 2001: Statements.

 

With our kinds of lives and the world in which we live today, many of my friends and associates discuss stress. People are now susceptible to acute mental breakdown and I would hate to think that anyone would be treated in some of the old hospitals which still remain. There is such a unit in Sligo which dates back to the 1950s. I spoke to the chief executive officer of the health board this morning and he told me that there are plans for it. Perhaps the Minister of State would find out how advanced they are and move them along. We in the health board area would be delighted.
