The mission of EDCC is to ensure that everyone gets the help they need to recover from their eating disorder. To this end we offer a sliding scale of fees for people on social welfare or very low income – for further details please see below. However, whilst there is also a full range of fees, the important thing is not to be put off by any financial difficulty. We will do our best to ensure you get the help you are reaching out for.

Currently a sliding scale of fees can be offered to those clients on social welfare or low income.
Recovery from eating disorder can be a lengthy process. It demands patience, time, and an innate respect for the individuality of each client. However, the often enormous financial costs of this process often prohibit people from availing of the relevant specialised treatment facilities.
We, at Eating Disorder Centre Cork ( EDCC) are very much aware of this financial strain.
EDCC (registered charity CH17771) is committed to provide a subsidised service to all individuals and families who find it financially difficult to avail of treatment services for themselves, or their loved ones eating disorder.
We at EDCC are committed to supporting the ‘right of access for each citizen to a suitable treatment of the person’s own choice should become reality’ (The European Charter of Patients Rights Sep 2002).
Initially, we advise clients to enquire from The Department of Social Welfare about any financial assistance with treatment they might be entitled to.
