A record number of eating disorder patients are not getting the life-saving treatment they need due to lengthy waits, leaked NHS data shows.
More than 8,000 adults are waiting to be seen for therapy, according to internal figures from NHS England – the highest figure recorded since data collection began in 2019. In March 2021, there were around 6,000 adults waiting, while it was less than 2,000 in March 2019.
