Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to establish a national register of eating disorders to capture illness data and death relating to that condition.
This question was answered on 2nd March 2022
We have no current plans to do so. However, we are working with all providers, including those in the third and independent sector, to ensure that comprehensive data is submitted to the Mental Health Services Dataset. We are also improving data on prevalence, including the addition of eating disorders in NHS Digital’s Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey, which is due to launch in April 2022.
