Rise in number of children seeking mental health support By Adam Offord | 24 August 2016

"In the three months between 1 April and 30 June this year there were 909 new referrals for people aged under 19 with eating disorder issues.This is a rise of 48.3 per cent on the 613 referrals recorded in the three months between January and March. Marc Bush, chief policy adviser atYoungMinds, said it is unclear whether the rise suggests progress on increasing access to child and adolescent mental health services or a failure to prevent needs from escalating."
