The Western Health Board provides community services which are funded by my Department. I understand from the Western Health Board that an officer of the board, together with a senior psychologist, attended a public meeting concerning the landslide in Pullathorna on 3 October 2003 and made themselves available for consultation with any member of the community who wished to engage with them. I also understand that the board has provided the local community with a contact number for counselling services if they wish to avail of them in the future.
