Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to investigate the increase in the number of cases in eating disorders in the last 10 years.
This question was answered on 7th July 2021
We currently have no plans to do so.
The Government is funding, via the National Institute for Health Research, a new eating disorder study jointly led with Kings College London and eating disorder charity, Beat. This is the largest ever study of eating disorders in England which aims to better understand these conditions and enable the design of new treatments aimed at improving the lives of patients.
