Eating disorders: Patients in Wales could be sent to Scotland

The WHSSC said it was looking at paying for beds from the independent sector to provide care “potentially closer to home”.A Welsh government spokesman said it was investing an extra £2.5m in 2022-23, adding: “Most people who need to access services, including in-patient care, will receive this care in Wales and we are also working with NHS Wales to scope the feasibility of a specialist eating disorder unit in Wales.”We expect all health boards to provide specialist, multi-disciplinary support for people with eating disorders.”
