Central Mental Hospital: Motion.

 

I am disappointed the Minister of State does not feel he could fund my hospital. However, I am not totally defeated because he brought up the matter of public private partnerships, as I did when I spoke. This is how some big psychiatric hospitals in the UK have been funded. I do not know whether it is necessarily the best way, but it should be considered. In fact, it is not a good idea, because we are already trying to cut down on rents and mortgages being paid by the State, but we may still have to consider it because, as I said earlier, the Minister for Health and Children has no money. We must get money somehow.
