Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of variation in spending per capita on children and young people’s community eating disorder services in (a) 2019-20 and (b) 2020-21.

We have made no such assessment. However, NHS England and NHS Improvement report actual spend on children and young people’s eating disorder services quarterly and annually at national, regional and clinical commissioning groups levels through the NHS Mental Health Dashboard, which is available at the following link:
