"Young people with eating disorders are coming to harm and ending up in A&E because they are being denied care and forced to endure long waits for treatment, GPs have revealed.
NHS eating disorders services are so overwhelmed by a post-Covid surge in problems such as anorexia that they are telling under-19s to rely on charities, their parents or self-help instead.
They are so threadbare in some places that young people who are struggling to function normally because of their eating disorder have to wait more than a year to start treatment."
