Eating Disorders: Ellesmere Port and Bromborough

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the number of patients referred to care outside the local area for patients with eating disorders in Ellesmere Port and Bromborough constituency.

We do hold this data, however as it is below five at the current time we cannot provide an exact value. This is standard statistical disclosure control guidance, where counts of less than five are suppressed to stop individuals being identified.
