Cork family protest over lack of funds for UK anorexia care

The family of a teenager who is being treated for severe anorexia has held a protest outside the offices of the HSE in Cork, demanding she receive funding for overseas treatment.

The family has called on the HSE to ensure that the teenager can be transferred to a specialist treatment facility in London.

In recent weeks, she has been receiving treatment in Cork University Hospital, but her family fear that she could be discharged in the near future.
