Ceisteanna (211)

Patrick Nulty

Ceist:

211 Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Health if he will review as a matter of urgency plans to move the Dublin 15 Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service out of Dublin 15 and into Cherry Orchard Hospital; if he will take into account the concerns from the Under 18’s Services Group in Dublin 15 that an area based response is integral to intensive care planning for young persons at risk in the area and that moving the service outside of Dublin 15 would effectively dismantle this essential infrastructure that is working so well there and that the rationale for local based services is that access for current and future clients could become a real barrier due to location; if he will consider the proposals put forward to keep the service in the area to ensure community needs are prioritised; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
