Dr. Orla Walsh:

Ireland now has a model of care for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity that is absolutely in line with international best practice. It has been chosen by WHO Europe to be a demonstrator site for other countries. In January 2025, the WHO and other countries are going to come to see how we are delivering treatment for obesity to children and adolescents so we can collaborate with other countries. We have that model of care and are getting it up and running. When it is fully funded, operational and in place, we will be leading prevention and treatment of obesity in children in Ireland.
