Joint Committee On Health
Eating Disorders: Bodywhys
Mark Ward (Dublin Mid West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I thank the representatives of Bodywhys for attending. It is great to meet them in person instead of virtually, for a change.
I am Sinn Féin's spokesperson on mental health. Eating disorders are one of the biggest issues about which people regularly contact me. It is usually mothers or fathers of young adults who are looking to get their children into an inpatient eating disorder service. Can Ms Hastings confirm that there are only three inpatient public beds available in Ireland, which are in St. Vincent's Hospital, for people with eating disorders?
