Report of the Inspector of Mental Hospitals, 2001: Statements.
I was delighted the Minister mentioned adolescents and children. We have about 49 teenagers in adult units all over the country. People have contacted me about the lack of facilities for children with psychiatric illness. It is not asking too much to seek such facilities. The Minister mentioned this and we must get working at it as soon as possible because the earlier illness is treated the better.
