Joint Committee On Health

Eating Disorders: Bodywhys

Ms Jacinta Hastings:

We made our submission and one of the things we advocated for in the submission was for advance directives to be considered also so that, particularly in an adult situation, their requirements would be considered in the recommendations. It is something that has been considered for quite a long time, but an advance directive would certainly help everybody if it was on the patient's file.
