Anorexia nervosa is undoubtedly a very serious health condition. Epidemiological data from other jurisdictions suggest an annual incidence of 10 cases of anorexia nervosa per 100,000 population for females and 0.5 for males. Admissions to Irish psychiatric hospitals and units with an eating disorder diagnosis in 2008 was 243 compared to 188 in 2003. However, comparison of admissions rates should be interpreted with caution as all hospitals did not provide data in previous years. In relation to the treatment and supports available, as this is a service matter, the question has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
