Answer

There have been significant efforts to plan bespoke arrangements for the individual who is over 18 and continues to be a patient in Iveagh children’s ward. These efforts will continue in partnership with the family.

This young person’s case is on the Muckamore resettlement list, and is presented to the Department of Health Oversight Board fortnightly.
