Under the programme for Government commitments were made to mental health matters and, similarly, in the confidence and supply arrangement, implementation of A Vision for Change for mental health was a condition of support for the Government. In a letter released over the weekend to Deputy Howlin and me from the Mental health Commission, it is clear that the imminent closure of somewhere between all and the majority of the mental health beds in the acute unit in University Hospital Waterford will leave a population of almost 300,000 people with potentially not one single acute unit bed in the south-east. What is the Taoiseach going to do about meeting these commitments to support people in the south-east and mental health?

I am not aware of the letter received by Deputies Howlin and Browne, but obviously Deputy Browne is in discussion with the Minister for Health directly and the Minister of State with responsibility for mental health. I will have the matter raised with the Minister and I will respond to Deputies Browne and Howlin.

That concludes Questions on Promised Legislation. My apologies to the ten Deputies whose questions were not reached.
