Stop NHS denying help for eating disorders on grounds patients are "too complex"

Petition Details

As someone who personally suffers from an eating disorder, I have been lucky to receive adequate treatment to recover. However, for a number of people who suffer and want to recover, particularly those who need admitting as an inpatient, some are told they are "too complex" for treatment.

Additional Information

Due to lack of mental health beds, and NICE guidelines stipulating special requirements for the treatment of eating disorders, some patients are being told they are "too complex" to receive treatment at the present time, even though they are willing to recover in an inpatient setting. Due to the guidelines and shortage of beds, those with eating disorders are slipping through the cracks of the system, and this is allowing for needless deaths that could have been prevented.
