Petition calls for food disorder clinic for children

An Island parent has launched a petition calling for the government to set up a specialised food disorder clinic for children.

James Green says he wants Manx Care to set up the facility to help youngsters with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder.

The condition sees children refusing to eat foods based on texture, taste, smell, color and can lead to nutritional deficiencies or other problems.
