Recommendation R91: Higher-funded resettlement team for complex needs

From Muckamore Abbey Hospital Inquiry Report, published 18 June 2026.

Recommendation

There needs to be a recognition that those service users in Northern Ireland yet to be resettled (if there are any by the time of publication of this report) will require a higher level of funding due to their needs and behaviour that challenges. A highly qualified team must be formed to progress their resettlement. An example of such a model might be the special development team in England.

Jurisdiction: Northern Ireland
