I raise the serious situation regarding mental health and people with psychosis problems in County Tipperary. We do not have a single long-stay bed in the entire county, which extends from Carrick-on-Suir up to Lorrha. A Vision for Change promised so much. We lost St. Michael's psychiatric unit, St. Luke's Psychiatric Hospital and much else. Kilkenny hospital is full and cannot accommodate patients from south Tipperary while those from north Tipperary have to go elsewhere. I ask the Minister of State for an update on the crisis. We need long-stay beds for people who are down on their luck and at times down, and who, for different reasons, are suffering ill health and mental illness and need to be supported. We do not have the services.

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue which he has raised several times before. Many young people are suffering with psychosis. We see it especially among those aged between 18 and 25. There are strong links between the consumption of cannabis and psychosis. We have several very good teams on the ground. We have fantastic pilot programmes under way in Cork and Sligo and I hope to extend them. A bed capacity review is under way and I am due to have the report by next week. It has been promised for a while. There is, however, capacity in the departments of psychiatry at Ennis and Kilkenny hospitals.
