614 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the ERHA has spent sizeable funds on the adoption of Clonee House which is located near Newbridge, County Kildare, for use as a high support hostel for Kildare-Meath-Wicklow mental health service and that the hostel would accommodate 14 patients who presently are accommodated in acute psychiatric beds at a cost of €100,000 per bed per year; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that the provision of the required nursing staff of 11 nurses would not alone allow the hostel to open but would provide savings of nearly €1 million per year; if he will make inquiries with the Board with a view to providing appropriate accommodation for the patients with an attendant saving of €1 million; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
