A mental health centre was borrowing money from residents to give to others without their permission to make up shortfalls, a damning report has found.
The Mental Health Commission, which is an independent statutory body, discovered it was happening at Woodview, a single-storey mental health facility, located on the campus of Merlin Park University Hospital in Galway following a probe.
They have since imposed a critical rating on the facility, which supports an aging cohort, while also providing mental health rehabilitation and recovery for residents awaiting community rehabilitation placements.
