Description

Fourteen counties have no specialist teams for treatment of eating disorders. That’s the warning given to members of the Oireachtas Health Committee. They also heard families are at ‘breaking point’ due to absence of eating disorder care. 

  Harriet Parson, CEO of Bodywhys.ie, appeared before the committee yesterday and spoke to Ciara this morning.
