The Psychiatric Nurses Association says it's shocked by the findings of a damning report on mental health services in Roscommon.

The HSE review says the service was marked by 'control, negativity and a culture of blame'.

It says some senior staff normalised bad behaviour, and others perpetrated it.

The inquiry followed claims that sexualised patient behaviour at a unit in Roscommon was mismanaged.

The PNA says its disappointed that many of the senior team criticised in the report are staying in place, and are being asked to implement the reform of the service.

The organisation is also calling for a more in-depth investigation "into how the situation described in today’s Review was allowed to develop and continue for so long".
