Implement the HSE Model of Care for Eating Disorders
Implement the HSE Model of Care for eating disorders. The plan is finalised, the funding in place, patients are waiting.
Why is this important?
Eating disorders are some of the most complicated and fatal psychiatric illnesses but they are consistently neglected by the HSE. To adequately address patient needs, several years were spent devising a national plan — the Model of Care. It was approved in December 2017 but has yet to be implemented. The HSE allocated no new funding in 2020 and the funds remains unutilised. We are asking that the HSE fully implement the plan and use the funding allocated.
