Certainly, I spoke out earlier about children who were in hospitals or medical settings that were not suitable for their needs. I know what Cherry Orchard does and I know the great people who work in Cherry Orchard. I fostered a young child for over a year who spent some time there before she came to me, so I am well of the work done in Cherry Orchard. I am also aware of Lois Bridges because another child I fostered attended that facility. I am aware of the facilities that are available at this moment in time.However, I can tell the Minister of State that there are no beds available for a child with an eating disorder awaiting a bed in hospital. The Minister of State knows that, I know that and the people in those beds and their parents know that. There might be all these teams around the country, and fair play to them, but we do not have the beds. All I am asking the Minister of State for is more beds so that these children will stop dying.
