Ceisteanna (799)

Neasa Hourigan

Ceist:

799. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Health , further to Parliamentary Question No. 648 of 24 May, the reasons that fire risks in a centre (details supplied) are not being adequately addressed and, therefore, constitute the main basis cited by the Minister for Mental Health and Older Adults for proceeding with the closure of the service; the authority that determined that this fire risk was unresolvable; if he will provide details of the precise building survey that was carried out in arriving at this conclusion; and the way in which that unit 8, floor 2 in St. Stephen's Hospital, Glanmire is deemed less problematic in terms of fire risk given the greater difficulty evacuating elderly patients from an upper floor; the way that unit 8, floor 2 is deemed more fit for purpose than that at the centre given its dormitory-style rooms, isolated location and lower mental health commission compliance ratings; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
