answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2023 answer text <p>There are no plans to make a specific assessment. However, we would expect, as part of new policy design and development, that all policies with implications for eating disorders should consider existing evidence and seek the views of experts and stakeholders.</p><p>In recognition of the rising demand for eating disorders services created by the pandemic, we invested £58 million in 2021/22 to support the expansion of adult community mental health services, including those for eating disorders. We also invested £79 million extra to expand children’s mental health services in 2021/22, including enabling at least 2,000 more children and young people to access eating disorder services.</p><p>We know that eating disorders are complicated mental health conditions caused by a complex interaction of biological, psychological, and environmental factors.

However, for children and young people aged 11 to 16 years old, the ‘Mental Health of Children and Young People in England 2021 - wave 2 follow up to the 2017 survey’ found that 13% screened positive for possible eating problems. For those aged 17 to 19 years old, 58.2% screened positive.
