239. Deputy Martin Browne asked the Minister for Health his views on the claims made on the HSE website in which it is outlined that the national clinical programme for eating disorders focusses on four main eating disorders, including avoidant restrictive food intake disorder; if his attention has been drawn to reports that a number of children with this condition cannot receive the services they need; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that, despite reference on the website to a national clinical lead, some children with ARFID are without a clinical lead; if he will outline the services that are available and accessible to children with ARFID, including those children with autism, in each CHO; the services available for children in CHOs where such services are not available; the access routes available to families and children in CHOs where such services and clinical leads or experienced professionals are not available; if he will consider requesting that the HSE website be amended to reflect the deficit of services and the way that any services that may be available can be accessed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
