A state-of-the-art mental facility has been officially opened at the Nobles Hospital site.

Geddyn Reesht is designed to allow rest and recuperation for people with mental health problems with the aim of getting them back to independent living within a community.

The brand new facility is a key strand in the treatment of patients which also involves working with patients in their own homes.

Clinical Services Manger Paul Hurst says the public also has a big role to play in successful rehabilitation.
