We have interpreted this question to refer to funding allocated by NHS England for the commitment in the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health to expand and improve community based eating disorder services for children and young people.

The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health dashboard publishes spend for eating disorders. In 2016/17, this showed that, for children and young people, the total spend for eating disorders across all clinical commissioning groups was £40.5 million. The dashboard is available at:
