Just wanted to post this picture up of the cross party group meeting with Edwina Hart earlier today. It was a good meeting, although the £1.5million that was announced will be a recurring £1million which we did not think would be the case from reading the press releases. But there is money there, so I am not complaining.
We discussed when the new framework/ strategy would go out for consultation, and how the care pathway could look when the health service is re-structured. Many of the issues raised will be discussed again at the cross party group on the 2nd of December at the National Assembly. I think we still have a long way to go in campaigning for more training for health professionals and GPs.
The Minister told us that female twins had died of an eating disorder last week. This again is awful news. My only hope is that eating disorders will rise from the Cinderella service that it currently is, so that more people do not suffer as a result of having an eating disorder in Wales due to lack of treatment or adequate support.
