Adjournment Matters. - Mental Health Services.
The fact that the brothers in the order commissioned an independent report into St. Mary's highlights their great concern for those for whom they care. That they should make it public demonstrates how serious are the problems outlined in the report. It is to their great credit that they have informed all of us. I am worried that this is not the first report commissioned by them and, while the previous reports did not receive such public attention, they have been forwarded to the Department of Health and Children. Their difficulties have been highlighted in the past and I am at a loss to understand the reason the Department did not address their concerns previously.
