Adjournment Matters. - Mental Health Services.
The Minister of State has seen the conditions. He has seen where patients have no in-cell sanitation and sleep on a sort of concrete base. They have to slop-out and defecate and urinate in plastic buckets from 8 p.m. when they are locked in to 8 a.m. when they are let out. As a professional with the knowledge of what happens with psychiatric patients, the Minister of State knows, as I do, that this is not right.
