Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed)

11:25 am

Dr. Muireann Cullen:

We have more non-industry members at the moment than industry members. I would like more industry members because that means more funding for the foundation. It is important to point out that anything we do must be agreed by all members of the foundation. The industry puts up the money and we are upfront about that and publish details on our website about who is funding the foundation. At the end of the day, it is about co-operation and working together so anything we do is by agreement with our industry and non-industry members.
