Eating Disorders
Dail Éireann — 2025-03-06
============================================================

Marie Sherlock (LAB), Dublin Central

My question relates to the 2018 commitment regarding inpatient beds for those with an eating disorder. It is important to say there was a significant amount of hurt at some of the previous comments made by the Minister of State about the need for these beds. We met some of those suffering from eating disorders last week. The reality is that while we very much welcome an expansion of community care, there is a desperate need for an increased number of inpatient, specialist beds for those suffering from an eating disorder.
