Motion: Closure of MS Respite Centre at Dalriada Hospital

Proposed:

That this Assembly notes the decision to close the Regional Multiple Sclerosis Respite Centre at Dalriada Hospital in Ballycastle until March 2015 and transfer the service to the independent sector; further notes the importance of appropriate respite provision for patients and their families; believes the decision to be entirely wrong and one which makes no financial sense; fears the decision will result in the permanent closure of the centre; and calls on the Minister of Health, Social Services and Public Safety to reverse the decision and immediately reinstate the service at Dalriada Hospital.
