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

 

I am a former chairman of the Western Health Board on which I served for a number of years. My period in office terminated at the end of June this year. I would have been delighted to serve for longer, but the opportunity did not arise. However, in this House I have an opportunity to bring forward issues. In relation to County Roscommon, I ask the Minister of State to provide funding for a day hospital for the services there. We have a greenfield site beside the swimming pool in Roscommon town and currently have temporary accommodation. Plans are well under way. We are also trying to incorporate a small community centre for the elderly.
