Better services sought for people with eating disorders

Young Fine Gael is calling on the Government to improve services for people suffering from eating disorders .

The organisation is launching a campaign today seeking dedicated counselling services and more beds for people with anorexia, bulimia and other disorders.

It says up to 200,0000 people suffer from such conditions, the majority of them teenage girls, and there will be an epidemic of eating disorders if services are not vastly improved.
