Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Tackling Obesity: Discussion with Operation Transformation

11:30 am

Dr. Eva Orsmond:

The World Health Organization has claimed that we have an overweightedness and obesity epidemic. Anorexia and eating disorders are not an epidemic. We would need to concentrate on the more important issues. At present, these are overweightedness and obesity, not anorexia and eating disorders. These others are important but at present they are not the priority.
