However, the Government is working in collaboration with the sector to realise the vision of the strategy to ensure the United Kingdom remains a top-tier global hub for clinical research and medical innovation, and ensure that the benefits of these innovations will be felt by UK patients. For example, the Government is investing up to £210 million in an early diagnostics challenge that will help patients benefit from earlier, more accurate diagnosis and more effective treatments. We have also published the response to the Accelerated Access Review which includes the introduction of a new Accelerated Access Pathway and £86 million of funding to support medical innovations get to patients faster.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 09/02/2018 12:08:07 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises that early intervention is absolutely vital and is committed to ensuring everyone with an eating disorder has access to timely treatment.</p><p> </p><p>For children and young people, the Government set up the first waiting times to improve access to eating disorders services for children and young people - so that by 2020/21 95% of children with an eating disorder will receive treatment within one week for urgent cases and within four weeks for routine cases. Latest figures indicate that the National Health Service is on track to meet that standard with almost 76.9% of all patients starting urgent treatment within one week and 83.1% of patients starting routine treatment within four weeks (third quarter of 2017-2018). The data is available at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/cyped-waiting-times/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/cyped-waiting-times/</a></p><p> </p><p>The Government announced in 2014 that it would invest £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><p> </p><p>For adults, a care pathway together with detailed implementation guidance for providers is under development by the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health in partnership with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The pathway is being fully informed by the available evidence and the views of experts and will increase healthcare professionals’ awareness of the early signs and symptoms of eating disorders so that they are able to refer without delay and intervene early.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 24/04/2018 12:52:47 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
