This question relates to the waiting times for inpatient admission for eating disorders and plans that are in place, or not in place as the case may be, to increase the number of inpatient eating disorder beds and to properly resource the model of care. We know from the HSE's estimates that there are 1,700 new presentations of people with eating disorders every year. Between 2018 and 2022, those figures show us that of 700 people who presented to the HSE with an eating disorder, only 46 received inpatient treatment. Something is not tallying. What is the plan?
