For children and young people aged between eight and 18 years, the Government is investing £150 million to expand eating disorder services and staff for 70 extended or new established community eating disorder services.

The Royal College of Psychiatrists is maintaining a directory of community eating disorder services for children and young people. This is available at:

Many clinical commissioning groups have made available details of coverage of community eating disorder services in joint agency Local Transformation Plans, these plans are now part of Sustainability and Transformation Plans.
