I listened in tears to a woman last week who told her local radio station the harrowing tale of how she was trying to save her daughter’s life.
The suicidal teenager was being treated in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda and had now been deemed ready for discharge home.
Everything that could be done for her from a medical point of view after she self-harmed had been done but unfortunately there wasn’t a bed available for her in a child psychiatric unit.
