An Enhanced Regional Eating Disorder Service
That this Assembly recognises Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2026 takes place from 23 February to 1 March; notes that the theme for this year’s awareness week is Community; acknowledges that as many as 37,500 people in Northern Ireland could have an eating disorder; notes with concern that the proportion of eating disorder admissions to the general adolescent inpatient unit has nearly tripled between 2019 and 2024; further acknowledges that the Mental Health Strategy Deliverability Review highlights that significant funding constraints have limited progress; and calls on the Minister of Health to set a clear timeframe for reviewing and responding to the business case for enhancing the regional eating disorder service.
