Resident at care centre experienced '89 abusive incidents', report

A resident at a centre for people with disabilities experienced “89 abusive incidents” over a nine-month period, a report from the State's health services watchdog reveals.

The Health Information and Quality Authority found that the incidents which occurred last the year were as a result of the St John of God centre in Glasthule, Co Dublin, failing to support other residents with their “behaviours of distress".
