Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the meaning of "referred for urgent help" as used in the response to Recommendation 1 of their response to the <i>Five Year Forward View for Mental Health</i>, published on 9 January.
The reference to “referred for urgent help” in the Government’s response to the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health about eating disorders, means people whose clinical presentation, in the judgement of the referring professional, should be seen by services quicker than the four weeks for routine cases.
