Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many adult eating disorder beds there were in the NHS in each year since 2010.

The following table shows the number of National Health Service commissioned inpatient beds for adult eating disorder services. Bed numbers can vary throughout the year as units close and new ones open. These figures are therefore the average number of beds across the year. Bed numbers for adult inpatient eating disorder beds for 2022/23 are based on the last validated data in 2021/22. The data provided is held within internal data management systems and not available publicly. NHS England does not hold reliable data for 2016 and prior.
