I thank the Minister of State. That is fantastic news. My response was going to outline that ours is the one region that does not have a team in place, so that is significant. I appreciate that the Minister of State has prioritised this area since she took office. I put this question to her because Mind EveryBody and Cared Ireland gave a briefing in recent weeks in the audiovisual room and the lived experiences of those with eating disorders, as well as the personal consequences and impact on them and their families, struck a chord with me. I wanted to point to Ciara Greene, who has more than 20 years' experience. She has had a number of struggles over recent years. There were some awful stories, with speakers reporting that they had been told they were seeking attention. I wanted to bring that to the Minister of State's attention because it is serious and concerning.
