Chairman of the Mental Health Authority Dr. Akwesi Osei made this known after meeting with the aggrieved nurses on [Monday, October 31 in a move to persuade them to return to work.
He believes the move to discharge some of the patients will ease pressure on the few workers available at the facility.
Aside from this issue the hospital is often faced with financial challenges that sometimes compel them to close its Out Patient Department (OPD).

This led to some suppliers of the facility withdrawing their services over the unpaid debts while others even dragged the mental facility to court to demand payment.
Most of these are developments known to the general public but the president explained that he had not been informed about these challenges.
But he assured that he will see to it that the challenges raised to his hearing today will be solved.
