We put mental health under the spotlight a couple of weeks ago... The Belfast Health Trust is currently carrying out a public consultation on day care services at Everton, Ravenhill and Whiterock centres in the city. And the Nolan Show was contacted by patients who use Ravenhill as part of their recovery claming they'd been asked to leave the centre with no viable or immediate alternative on the table. Well, as part of this public consultation the Trust is holding a series of meetings throughout the city to gauge reaction to their proposals for the future of mental health services - including the possibility of closing some centres and creating a new centralised service in the city centre. One of the proposals is it would be partly staffed by people who have experienced mental health difficulties. Our reporter, Nicola Weir, went to one of the public meetings at Grosvenor House
