No one anticipated a doubling of referrals in 12 months.She added: The system is working very hard to look after these children and young people. Claire Murdoch said there was huge demand, with the number of eating disorder referrals doubling last year, which meant some children were waiting for a bed or receiving support at home or in paediatric wards. However, we are experiencing huge demand on inpatient services and know a number of children and young people waiting for a bed, she said. A senior clinician told Health Service Journal on Tuesday that there was no capacity anywhere to deal with an unprecedented surge in admissions of children with mental health problems. Murdoch said there had been a doubling of eating disorder referrals in the last 12 months, and added: There is something about the pandemic ... that has led to a big increase.
the system is working very hard to look after these children and young people. The system is also very good.
