Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what information his Department holds on the number of children who began treatment for eating disorders and who have completed that treatment since 2010.

The information is not available in the format requested. However, NHS England’s Children and Young People with an Eating Disorder Waiting Times data contains information on the number of children and young people who have accessed, or are waiting for treatment following a routine or urgent referral for a suspected eating disorder. Data for this collection is available back to Quarter 1 2016/17, and is available here:
