View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 169 and 170 together.
One of the key priorities of my Department is to progress as quickly as possible the development of purpose built residential and day facilities on the campus referred to by the Deputy. The suitability of the person referred to by the Deputy for transfer to an alternative facility would be a decision taken by her medical team in consultation with the relevant health board.
