Will Ms O'Connor actually come back to me? I have been asking for two years why we only have an allocation of 0.5 of a paediatric dietician, yet we have a 300% increase in cases of anorexia. I have asked this question of the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and CHO 5. I have written to everybody I can think of asking why our allocation has not been increased to one full-time equivalent, in which case we might be able to recruit. Can Ms O'Connor tell me why even the half-time position has not been filled?
