The Minister with responsibility for mental health says a report raising concerns about HSE-run hostels around the country tells us nothing new.

However Kathleen Lynch says she has yet to see the report and will be meeting the Mental Health Commission this morning.

Officials from the Inspectorate of Mental Health have reviewed the hostels and highlighted a range of problems for their residents, who were previously moved out of psychiatric hospitals.

The HSE supervises at least 115 of these hostels around the country. However there is no definitive figure on how many people live there.

Minister Kathleen Lynch gave her reaction to Newstalk Breakfast earlier.
