Amharc ar fhreagra191. Deputy James Browne asked the Minister for Health to outline his views on the finding of the report into Roscommon mental health services, which found that the service’s funding returned €17.6 million unspent over three years; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 179, 190 and 191 together.
I am familiar with the recently published Report by the HSE referred to by the Deputy, including concerns around funding or other serious issues highlighted in the report. I also visited Roscommon earlier this year and met with HSE officials to discuss the implementation of the recommendations strategy. I have referred the question of the Executive for a more detailed reply to the Deputy. The Deputy can rest assured that the Department of Health and I will continue to closely monitor the progress of the Implementation Team.
