To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what monitoring his Department undertakes on demand for treatment for avoidant restrictive food intake disorder.
We have established the first waiting time standard to improve access to treatment for children and young people in need of eating disorder treatment in England, including avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, to allow 95% to start treatment within one week if urgent and within four weeks if routine. However, it is not possible to separately identify the different types of eating disorders within this data.
Data on waiting times and demand for adult eating disorder services is not currently collected centrally.
