We are working with NHS England on the introduction new waiting time standards for mental health as part of its clinically-led review of NHS access standards. One of these is that adults and older adults presenting to community-based mental health services, including eating disorder services, should start to receive help within four weeks from referral. A date for its introduction has not yet been set.
