Report of the Inspector of Mental Hospitals, 2001: Statements.
The report being debated is important and current given that it covers the period up to the end of 2001. I know Dermot Walsh, the Inspector of Mental Hospitals, well because I met him on numerous occasions when I was a Minister of State in the Department. I congratulate him on his excellent work with Liam Hanniffy, the assistant inspector of mental hospitals. The report is always met with some fear and concern by health boards. I know chief executive officers are given a chance in advance of its completion to comment on specific situations.
