s DANIEL () (): My question is to the Minister for Health and Aged Care. Recently, 16-year-old Katya from my electorate contacted me about the death of her 15-year-old friend due to an eating disorder. Katya says: 'The fact that the system is so bad that it caused a once young passionate girl full of life to commit suicide is so sickening. I can't even express my words for how disgusted I am.' On behalf of Katya and her friend, whose memorial service was this morning, why was there no new funding for eating disorder treatment in the budget?
