Bloomfield Care Centre, the mental hospital and nursing home owned and managed by Irish Friends, has recently completed its phase 2 development at Stocking Lane in the hills south of Dublin. The official opening was performed by Mary Harney, minister of health, and the launch included a short Meeting for Worship introduced by Alan Pim, clerk of Ireland Yearly Meeting. Phase 2 is a magnificent complex of seventy-eight beds for patients of which twenty-eight have immediately been filled by patients from Kylemore Clinic, which has now merged with Bloomfield. The balance of the beds will be filled during the course of the year as funding becomes available at the Health Service Executive (HSE), which is the state body responsible for health care.
