240. To ask the Minister for Health the procedures in relation to a person being discharged from a psychiatric unit in a hospital against their will and that of the person's family; and his views on whether it is appropriate to indicate a charge of €3,000 for the person to remain in hospital over the weekend [6644/18]

This would appear to be an operational matter, which would be the responsibility of the Health Service Executive, if the query relates to a HSE service.

However, I understand that the Deputy is awaiting further details in respect of the issue raised. When received, he should forward this to the HSE, who will then be in a position to respond.
