Question:
To ask the Minister of Health whether he plans to close the Greenhill facility, which currently provides respite short breaks in the South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust.

Answer:

There are no plans to close Greenhill. The Trust currently funds Greenhill for two beds 5 nights per week. The additional investment I have announced will enable the Trust to expand this provision to 2 beds for 7 nights per week. This expansion will be contingent upon the successful recruitment of an appropriate workforce. A dedicated recruitment campaign will commence during April 2025.
