Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the number of children and young people being treated on general paediatric wards where the primary illness is that of an eating disorder, in each year from 2017 to 2022.
No specific estimate has been made. The information is not collected in the format requested as it is not possible to determine the ward where a patient is treated from secondary care data.
