Roscommon mental health services slammed

Bad behaviour was normalised and then perpetrated by staff across Roscommon mental health services, a damning report has found.

The 44-page HSE report, which was carried out by experts from the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust in Northern Ireland, was commissioned following allegations of improper sexual contacts at a facility in the county.

It found that mental health services were marked by “control negativity and a culture of blame”.
