Mental health service model in Galway/Roscommon ‘30 years out of date’
According to the final report[/url] of the expert review group on community mental health services in Galway/Roscommon, published over the weekend, the area also costs the HSE more per rate of admission than other, higher-density areas.
The review looked at community hostels/group homes, day hospital services, day centres, and training centres and found that services in the area were operating under the outdated 30-year-old national strategy Planning for the Future 1984, rather than the current Vision for Change document.
