Galway Bay fm newsroom - The HSE has developed a new programme for people suffering from eating disorders, which could see a treatment hub set up in Galway.
According to the Irish Examiner, the new model of care includes early intervention and access to trained specialists.
The programme will be implemented over a four year period, during which training and recruitment will be carried out.
Around 5 percent of the population, both male and female, suffer from various forms of eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia and binge eating.
The proposed hub locations are Galway, Cork and Dublin - with 'minihubs' proposed for Cavan, Kilkenny, Sligo, Limerick and Waterford.
