Joint Committee On Health
Eating Disorders: Bodywhys
Ms Kathy Downes:
I do not particularly have figures on that from our services. Thinking about the services it is not something that is particularly there, but in terms of numbers it is not higher or lower than other cohorts. I am thinking about different issues that might have stronger links with eating disorders, such as perhaps autism which might be an issue we might see a bit more than physical disability in terms of a link with an eating disorder.
