Central Mental Hospital
Andrews sought an Adjournment debate on the Central Mental Hospital’s role, funding, security and treatment of paramilitary-type patients after Ministers declined a delegation meeting; the Chair said he would communicate with him.
In view of the refusal of the Minister for Justice and the Minister for Health and Social Welfare to meet a delegation from the Eastern Health Board to discuss the questions of the role and the financing of the Central Mental Hospital, of security, including the treatment at the hospital of para-military type patients and ward security, I should like to raise on the Adjournment the whole question of the Central Mental Hospital.
