This is not enough capacity to meet the needs of local patients as there has been an increase in Adult Eating Disorder admissions from an average of 20 in 18-19 to 25 in 19-20 to 30 a month 7 2020-21. Any inpatient beds required over and above 15 are currently commissioned out of area. This can mean some patients are placed a considerable distance from home and leads to delays in admission and longer lengths of stay. The current arrangements present particular difficulties for patients considered to be complex/those with co-morbidities.
