Parents with children at a Belfast mental health and learning disability unit were told to urgently collect their kids as they were being discharged due to a "staffing crisis" on Friday.
The Iveagh Centre deals with young people with complex needs and learning disabilities and sudden changes to their routines can cause a lot of upheaval for them. "I had made the trust aware that I was going with my sister to Dublin that evening, as I visit Shannon every day, and could not believe it when I received that phone call.
North Belfast Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín has written to the health minister, Belfast Trust and Chief Social Worker seeking an urgent solution to the "crisis at the Iveagh Centre".Ms Ní Chuilín said: “Closing Iveagh House and leaving high-risk young people and their families with no certainty on when it would reopen is totally unacceptable.
Nobody in their right mind would work there.
