Mental health—duress alarms
(Question No 2126)

Mrs Dunne asked the Minister for Mental Health, upon notice, on 15 February 2019:

In relation to the answer given to part (2) of the question on notice taken on notice on 29 November 2018 about duress alarms, what action has the Minister taken to ensure that all security systems (including but not limited to duress alarms) at the adult mental health unit and the mental health short stay unit are working properly and are fit for purpose.

Mr Rattenbury: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

Mobile and portable duress systems used in the Adult Mental Health Unit and the Mental Health Short Stay Unit are required to be tested by staff at the beginning of each of their shifts to ensure their serviceability.

Hard wired duress buttons are programmed to notify security if they are disconnected or faulty.
