Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he took to include (a) anorexia nervosa, (b) bulimia, (c) binge eating disorder and (d) other eating disorders and the effects on the mental health and wellbeing of people affected by those disorders when determining health strategies for tackling obesity; and if he will make a statement.

We have been careful to consider the views of a wide range of experts as we developed our plans for implementing the obesity strategy and we will continue to listen going forwards. This includes feedback from mental health charities, medical and public health professionals in response to our public consultations on specific policy proposals.
