Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 32
10:30 am
Dan Neville (Limerick West, Fine Gael)
I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the lack of treatment for children and adolescents with eating disorders, the provision of merely five beds in the State to treat such patients with eating disorders, waiting lists for up to 18 months for these places, that there are just 20 beds to treat children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders, and the scandalous neglect and under-resourcing of the child and adolescent psychiatric services.
