This is very frustrating. We are being given an awful lot of superfluous information that does not answer the initial question. I want a specific answer. There was an exponential increase, in the region of some 300%, in young people presenting with anorexia in Wexford during the Covid period. How does that measure against the HSE's targets, which we do not have? We need a paediatric dietician either assigned or on the list as a requirement for the CAMHS team.
