Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much the NHS spends on mental health services in England; and what proportion of that amount is spent on community eating disorder services for adults.

The Five Year Forward View for Mental Health Dashboard shows that £9.722 billion was spent by clinical commissioning groups on mental health services in England in 2016/17. The Dashboard also shows progress towards key targets set our within the Five Year Forward View (including targets for delivery of eating disorder services). The Dashboard is available at the following link:
