HSE 'sourcing a property' for Owenacurra residents

Minister for Mental Health, Mary Butler, said funding has been sought and a bid submitted

The Owenacurra mental health facility provided residential care for people with mental health difficulties. Plans to close the facility were announced last year.

The HSE is sourcing a property for some residents of the Owenacurra mental health facility in Cork which is set to be closed.

The Minister for Mental Health said in a statement this evening that a detached house has been identified as a suitable location in the area.
