Part of 2. Questions to the Minister for Health and Social Services – in the Senedd at 3:09 pm on 1 December 2021.
Thank you, Deputy Minister. As you rightly point out, you did set out an ambitious vision for a world-class service in every part of Wales in the 2018 review and strategy. This called for a shift towards prevention and assertive early intervention and for access to evidence-based treatment and support being available equitably. Staff in eating disorder services are now under even greater pressure than before, due to the level of demand for treatment. Will the Welsh Government publish a new service model or framework, including timescales, to guide health boards in their response to the eating disorder service review? And will it ensure that there is an appropriate central resource in place to support this work?
