N.B. minister promises new $85M psychiatric hospital Last Updated: Monday, December 10, 2007 | 4:14 PM AT CBC News New Brunswick Health Minister Mike Murphy has promised Tuesday's capital budget will include $85 million for a new psychiatric hospital in Campbellton.
The Liberal government's top health-care priority is to replace the current Restigouche Hospital Centre, which was built in the 1950s, Murphy said at a speech in Moncton on Monday.
The new hospital will be built through a public-private partnership, said the minister.
There is not enough usable space in the current 175-bed facility and some parts of the building have no heat or water, and have recurring pest problems, he said.
The Restigouche Hospital Centre has an average of 225 admissions annually.
The government has previously been criticized for a bed shortage at the hospital, which is the only facility in the province where court-ordered psychiatric assessments are administered.

New Brunswick Ombudsman Bernard Richard is also examining the availability of mental health services for inmates in the province.
Richard has already called for the closure of New Brunswick Youth Centre in Miramichi in favour of establishing a facility that provides treatment for youth suffering from severe behaviour misconduct and mental illness, he said.
"For a long time, because of the lack of psychiatric facilities in New Brunswick, we have in some respects criminalized those with mental health challenges," Murphy said.
The capital budget will also include investments in Moncton's two hospitals, he said.
Here comes your foreign investment-make a fortune on a hospital while taxpayers keep paying you for thirty years with a 30% markup. Don't forget to provide slave wages and lousy service to save extra cash.
They are Causing The Problem if they keep on Drugging the Children with Ritalin(speed) and causing more Permanent Brain Damage! But Heck it makes a lot of Work since We have no more industry because of Free Trade,Nafta,SPP,etc?
Miramichi is or was run by Wackenhutt one of the USA`s Largest Run For Profit Prisons Companies? Whats it doing here?
