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

 

Praise is due in many areas and it is most rewarding to see that the effort put in is now bearing fruit. However, I am concerned by one omission from the Minister's speech. There was no reference to the Central Mental Hospital which is the big black spot in the mental health services. I have said in the past that I believe there is a turf war ongoing between the Department of Health and Children and the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform to see which can do least for the mentally ill in the Central Mental Hospital and in the prisons.
