Ceisteanna (850)

David Cullinane

Ceist:

850. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Health if the HSE intends to downgrade the services in Bantry Hospital centre for mental healthcare and recovery from an 18-bed unit to 12 beds; if resources have been made available to rectify the situation; his views on whether this will have a detrimental impact on the community and the ability in future for the unit to provide acute care; the locations in which the displaced patients will be sent instead; his views on whether this will increase pressure on other frontline services in the area; if he will direct the HSE to implement the recommended changes; 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.
