View answerIn line with the increased emphasis on providing services to patients in the community, currently referrals that the dietetic service at Beaumont Hospital receive for weight management are transferred to Community Services for individual and group programmes such as the "Programme for Healthy Eating and Wait Management” (PHEW).
The HSE has advised that there are no currently plans for a weight management clinic in Beaumont Hospital.
