Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: I welcome the witnesses to the meeting. We have all been looking forward to this session of the subcommittee. It is an area we have been very aware of during Covid. We have been concerned that conditions may have been exacerbated for some people because of isolation and the fact we were all under pressure. It has been on the agenda for a while. Is it possible at the outset for the...

Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: I am assuming that where there is a dearth of HSE services, Bodywhys might find it is more under pressure or is getting more calls. Is there no particular area Bodywhys feels is underserved?

Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: Before we move away from that issue, do the witnesses feel we have enough or the right type of psychological support in terms of staff expertise in the State? For example, an issue that has come up in this subcommittee previously is that of psychological experts, such as psychologists and the area of counselling in particular. Does Bodywhys find there are enough staff available? Are we...

Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: It does. I am conscious I am asking Ms Parsons to give answers about a body that she is not directly involved in. For my own understanding, how long does it take to train?

Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)

Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: It struck me when reading Ms Hastings's opening statement today how incredibly challenging is it to be working with a cohort that starts at the ages of 13, 14 and 15 years and ends in the mid-20s because that is such a formative age and a person changes in classification legally. In terms of their own work, how often do they work with Tusla or what is the communication there?

Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: Yes.

Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: There is no kind of active outreach from Tusla with Bodywhys.

Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: That is fair enough; I was just asking the question. The numbers provided in the opening statement are huge, with some 180,000 people affected. I wish to return to the issue of the male cohort. What kind of services are available to them or are there particular challenges that a boy or a man faces in seeking help for an eating disorder, because I think we still categorise it as affecting...

Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: Is that a growing cohort? I am not necessarily talking about Ireland but, internationally, does the research suggest that more men are affected?

Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: That was going to be the basis of my next question. In Ms Downes's estimation and with her expertise, what would make it easier for men or boys to speak up about eating disorders?

Joint Committee On Health: Eating Disorders: Bodywhys (17 May 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: I have no idea if this is a right question to ask, but is there a qualitative difference between men or boys who present with this issue? Is it more about being in the gym? Are the issues the same for both genders when they experience eating disorders or is there a difference?
