Ms Jacinta Hastings:

I thank the Deputy for his questions. If it okay with him, I will give a quick response on social media and then ask my colleague, Ms Parsons, to answer the question on child and adolescent beds for eating disorders. Social media is a very valid and valuable space, particularly for young people. It is something they engage with continuously. However, we also recognise that it is potentially a space that could have messages that may not be appropriate. Bodywhys engaged with a lot of the social media companies, including Facebook, which is now Meta, Instagram and TikTok, and we have been doing that regularly over the past few years. We wanted to work with them in identifying inappropriate material, particularly material that would not be age-appropriate, such as the advertising of images of emaciated people and dietary products. The companies have put in safety provisions, particularly around age-appropriateness. We have also worked with some of their staff on identifying things we would have concerns about around eating disorders, body image and media literacy, which we mentioned earlier. That is an ongoing process and is one we have welcomed. We also worked with our colleagues in the UK, Beat, because these are international platforms so you want the safety reach to go as far as possible.
