Petition Action

Make funding and support available for people with Binge Eating Disorder.

Petition Details

Funding is available for people with Anorexia and Bulimia but not for people with Binge Eating Disorder. This is a recognised condition now but no support or funding is available for people with severe issues.

Additional Information

Make funding and specialist support available for people with Binge Eating Disorder. This is a recognised condition now but no support or funding is available for people with severe issues. People with this condition live a private life of hell, full of self hatred, pain, and humiliation. The condition causes physical and emotional problems that could save the NHS a fortune if a specilised program was in place, as it is for those with other eating disorders. This is unacceptable.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

we understand that you are concerned about support for sufferers of binge eating disorder, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do about this.

Sufferers of binge eating disorder can access treatment and support through the NHS in the same way as sufferers of other eating disorders: www.nhs.uk/conditions/eating-disorders/

You can find eating disorder support services using the following NHS search tool: www.nhs.uk/service-search/other-services/Eating-disorder-support/LocationSearch/341
