Thank you very much, Chair. I went to the event over lunch today in the Senedd, arranged to mark Eating Disorder Awareness Week, organised by Beat, and sponsored by Bethan Sayed. May I tell you how pleased I am that I went to that event, to be able to listen to young women explaining so eloquently how their lives were impacted by eating disorders: the pressure to conform in the first instance in terms of their body shape or their appearance; the lack of understanding and awareness that they had of the danger that they could fall into the trap of an eating disorder; how they hadn't realised that a problem was developing for them until that problem had turned into a serious one; and how the response to their cry for help, or for assistance from the health service, had been unacceptably poor? 

That convinces me certainly that we should be taking eating disorders far more seriously than we have been taking them in terms of the need for urgent action. That is the cry from Beat and the young women that I heard from today—namely, to take urgent action. And the guidance on what we have to do is already with us. What we are asking for, very simply, is to take action on what emanated from the eating disorder service review. 

Having high quality services that are required by young men and women who suffer from this mental illness; ensuring that there's consistency in services across Wales; ensuring that we develop ways of monitoring the care that is provided; ensuring that staffing levels are given adequate attention, and that funding is in place on a health board level to implement a system that is appropriate; and ensuring that we teach our young doctors with regard to eating disorders, and that there is more time given than the less than two hours that is provided in training for medics at the moment, and that that period is increased so that there is an awareness amongst the health workforce as a whole about the seriousness of this issue.

That pattern does follow the review. Let us, through this brief debate today, make the point as a Senedd that we expect these recommendations to be implemented, as a matter of urgency, for the sake of our young people.
