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 support people with anorexia.

The Department is committed to working closely with NHS England to ensure that people with anorexia and other eating disorders get the care and treatment they need, when they need it.

We will focus on improving the performance of the existing waiting time standards for children and young people’s eating disorder services. This will be supported by recruiting 8,500 additional mental health staff across children and adult mental health services.
