This evening, there is a public meeting in Castlerea, regarding the closure of the Rosalie, long stay unit which was to be developed into a Alzheimers/dementia unit for older people in the West Roscommon/North Galway area .
What is really frustrating, is the fact that neither the families nor the public are being told what exactly is happening.
On the 22nd of April I questioned the Health Minister in the Dáil on the plans for the Rosalie Unit. See here:
Even though I had given notice and had raised the issue in the Dáil previously, the Minister said that he could not give an answer, because he did not have the information.
I asked him to come back to me, but a month later, I’d no response. So I wrote to him, but I’m still waiting.
How much notice is needed for families to get a straight answer to a straight question?
