Eating Disorders: Mental Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of future funding allocations to NHS eating disorder services.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Funding for eating-disorder services has increased each year, from £46.7 million in 2017/18 to a planned spend of £101 million in 2024/25.
The Government is committed to ensure that those living with eating disorders are given the support they need, including by recruiting an extra 8,500 new mental health workers across child and adult mental health services to cut waiting times and ensure people can access treatment and support earlier.
