Report of the Inspector of Mental Hospitals, 2001: Statements.
There are very good recommendations in the report. One of them, which has not been mentioned, is the repatriation of long-stay patients in hospitals. Sligo is the base for Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim. There are six or seven long stay patients from Donegal in Saint Columba's. It would be lovely if they could be repatriated to a facility in their own counties where their families could have easier access to them.
