An award-winning campaigner from Newcastle - who also happens to be a governor at the Cumbria, Northumberland Tyne and Wear (CNTW) NHS Trust - has called on the Government to put more money into eating disorder support services.
Tom Rebair, 26, has publicly campaigned on eating disorder and mental health issues for several years - he's now highlighted that, although people are more open about discussing these things, the funding has yet to match the rhetoric.
Leading eating disorder charity Beat has also highlighted the need for adequate medical education around eating disorders, while mental health NHS trusts in the North East have spoken about the importance of spotting the signs of illness as early as possible.
