A crisis is looming in respect of service users, families and staff at St. John of God. We were here a number of years ago in the context of huge deficits in the service. In six months' time, those seeking community services will have to go to either the HSE or a voluntary body. As a former employee of St. John of God who has a lot of friends who work there, I know they are extremely concerned about what is going on. They were only told when it was reported online last week. This is no way to do business. What measures is the Government putting in place in case the eventuality happens on 15 August whereby St. John of God has to hand over the community services to the HSE?
