There are a number of critical roles left vacant in the E-Mental Health Hub in Castlerea at present. That \u2018s been confirmed to local Sinn Fein deputy Claire Kerrane.<\/p>\n
This facility was opened to great fanfare in 2020 with the closure of the formerly well loved Rosalie Home for older people with dementia.<\/p>\n
Deputy Kerrane says to see three posts stopped for a service for Older People in our community \u2013 The Psychiatry of Later Life (Poll) service is very disheartening.<\/p>\n
There are also positions vacant in the Children & Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Connect Service.<\/p>\n
The Roscommon\u00a0 Galway based deputy sought clarification on the number of vacant posts from the HSE, and says she will continue to raise her staffing concerns.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople\u201d, she says, \u201cdeserve better and the government cannot continue to talk up care in the community, when this is the reality they stand over.\u201d<\/p>\n
The deputy spoke to Midwest News Editor Teresa O\u2019Malley about the\u00a0 critical positions in the E-Mental Health Hub in Castlerea unfilled\u2026.<\/p>\n
