Neasa Hourigan
Question:726. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 170 of 9 February 2022 and 597 of 25 April 2023, if he can confirm that the ten-bed replacement service for the Owenacurra Centre, Midleton, will be a 'continuing care' mental health service, as suggested in the response to Parliamentary Question No. 597 of 25 April 2023, bearing in mind that continuing care mental health services have a specific staff: client ratio; how one can reconcile a contention in the same response that the service will be replaced in 2024 with recent briefings from the HSE suggesting that it does not yet have a site identified for this project, nor a 'development team' appointed, nor capital funding secured; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
