Question 167: To ask the Minister for Health and Children the reason the Health Information and Quality Authority mechanism was used inappropriately by staff at a unit (details supplied) to deal with industrial relations issues; the further reason those issues were not addressed through proper channels; if she is satisfied that following the closure there will be sufficient secure places; if she or her Department officials dealt with former residents of the unit to hear their positive accounts and experiences of their time there and their anger at the proposed closure; and if her attention has been drawn to the fact that since 2005 reports on care practices at the unit have been positive.
