Psychiatric patient to be transferred to CMH
John Hunt, whose case featured in last week’s Irish Examiner special investigation on mental health, has lived in the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit in Carraig Mór since he was 24. He has been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, and it is understood his move follows a recent incident in which a staff member was injured.
Mr Hunt’s former partner, Gráinne Humphrys, said John and his family are anxious about the move, but hope be better services will be available there.
