Ceisteanna (650)

Michael Lowry

Ceist:

650. Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Health his plans to provide mental health beds within County Tipperary; his further plans to ensure that persons in need of secure psychiatric beds are not transferred to services outside County Tipperary due to a lack of availability of these beds within the county; his views on such a case in County Tipperary in which persons have been transferred to facilities in Ennis or Kilkenny due to the fact there were no secure mental health beds available in the County; the measures that are being taken to alleviate these irregularities and to address the lack of mental health beds in general including secure mental health beds within County Tipperary; 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.
