NHS England does not hold information about all of the specific services commissioned by individual CCGs.</p><p> </p><p>We know that early intervention is vital and can prevent problems continuing into adulthood, that is why in 2015 the Government introduced waiting time targets to improve access to eating disorder services for children and young people.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also investing £150 million to expand eating disorder community-based care and as a result 70 dedicated new or extended community services are now either open or in development. This means at least 3,350 children and young people a year will receive swift, effective eating disorder treatment in the community.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 16/10/2018 14:18:59 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock previous answer version 78285 answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

As with other services CCGs commission, they should take into consideration assessments of local need and any relevant guidance, such as that published by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). NICE clinical guidelines are not mandatory, although we expect service commissioners to take them into account alongside local priorities in the design of services.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 02/07/2018 15:29:53 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
