Question 203: To ask the Minister for Health and Children the number of institutions that provide psychiatric care in the country; the number of patients in each institution; the age of each institution; the future plans for each institution; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [18583/09]

There are currently 64 approved centres providing in-patient psychiatric care in Ireland. The table provides the most recent data available from the Mental Health Commission regarding the number of in-patients in approved centres on 7th November 2007. The figures do not include the child and adolescent approved centres that were on the register in 2007 i.e. St. Anne's Children's Centre, Galway and Warrenstown In-patient Unit, Blanchardstown.
Regarding the question of the age of each approved centre, and their future plans, I have referred this matter to the HSE for direct reply.
