Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

We have 14 teams funded. It takes a year and a half to set up a team. They are multidisciplinary teams. We have 100 clinicians and ten consultant psychiatrists working on eating disorder teams across the country. The Deputy is right in that we have not made progress in relation to the bed capacity, but 90% of those with an eating disorder are treated in the community. That is what we priorities in the first instance. We are reviewing the model of care and looking at all situations in relation to inpatient beds.
