The new management of Cork/Kerry mental health services has been described as “more opaque” than its predecessors by a group which campaigned to halt the closure of a Midleton mental health centre.

The Save Owenacurra campaign, which has been calling for a halt to that closure for nearly two years, had previously criticised the local HSE for the lengthy wait for responses to freedom of information requests amongst other related matters.
