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

 

We also need to keep working at the separation of the mentally ill and those with intellectual disability. Slow progress is being made in this area. Senator Feeney pointed out that we now have two separate degree courses for nurses in this area. The two patient groups do not require the same sort of care. This option may not be expensive and in these days of adjustments it may be possible for the Department to keep working at achieving this.
