The key bone of contention is the need for a new framework, because this is work that's already in hand. It's not us saying that we need a new framework, it is Beat; it is the leading organisation that understands where the deficiencies are in current provision for those suffering from eating disorders in Wales. I tend to listen to those who understand, in the same way as I work with and listen to the cancer charities when they're pushing for and asking for a new cancer plan. When Beat tells me, 'You know what? The frameworks that we currently have; they're not really doing it for us, we need to build something new', I think that is a clear message to us that we need to move in that direction.
