Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Tackling Obesity: Discussion with Operation Transformation
10:35 am
Dr. Eva Orsmond:
That is most important. We know that Ireland has the lowest level of breast-feeding, which is obviously where everything should start. I could not be a better promoter for breast-feeding, having done it twice and coming from Finland a country which has one of the highest levels of breast-feeding in the world. Obviously it all starts there and it is vitally important. It is all about education. Primary health care prevention is there in its place.
