No, I am still in the same position when it comes to eating disorders because we have not addressed the situation of either CAMHS units or CDNT units being staffed.

We have 817 vacant positions in CDNTs. We are servicing nobody. The situation with CAMHS is almost identical. I will have to come back in later because I am out of time Will Dr. Henry prepare an answer in the interim? CAMHS Wexford south, as it has to be identified - because if it is not, it discredits CAMHS north - has refused to take on hundreds of children on the basis that they may also have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. We are really failing poorly.
