The HSE is facing criticism over a very slow plan for extra beds at the acute mental health unit at UHG.
The existing unit offers 50 in-patient beds, and Galway West TD John Connolly says he's been informed there are plans to add 15 more.
But he's taking issue with the timeline provided by the HSE, which says they'll be in place by 2035.
Fianna Fail Deputy Connolly says 15 extra beds a decade from now is not enough beds, and too long a delivery time.
