1748. Deputy Neasa Hourigan asked the Minister for Health the reason the east Cork HSE catchment area, with a population of circa 100,000, is having its 24-hour staffed residential mental health provision reduced from twenty single-room placements in 2021 to three single-room placements in 2023; the reason a development team due to be set up from May 2022 with a view to developing a new ten bed service for the region has not yet been formed; 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.
