Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to page seven of the NHS England report, Implementing the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health, published in February 2016, when NHS England plans to publish the expected trajectory for localities' progress towards meeting new standards for children and young people's eating disorder services.
Clinical commissioning groups’ (CCG) plans for 2017-19 (submitted 23 December 2016) stated their trajectories for meeting the eating disorder standard by 2020. To inform assurance processes, NHS England is comparing CCG reported trajectories with the data collected on the number of young people receiving treatment within the ‘referral to treatment’ timeframe every quarter.
