By filling in this form, you give consent for the data to be used in line with our privacy statement
Thank you for taking the time to look at this form. If you have been
contacted by a constituent who has faced a decision about their eating disorder
treatment, or the treatment of someone they care for, that may not follow
recommended clinical guidance or best practice, we may be able to help by:
- Offering direction on how to challenge a decision, including the necessary services or decisionmakers to contact
- Informing you what the treatment guidelines say
about what should happen
- Providing or advising on content of any
communication to decision makers or services such as letters or
emails
We can continue
to guide you through this process until the decision is overturned. In turn, we would value being updated on the
outcome of each case to enable us to measure the effectiveness of the service.
Please fill in this form and we will aim to respond to you within 4 working
days.
Please note that
we work according to the
available treatment guidelines and are therefore unable to challenge clinically
appropriate decisions that a constituent may disagree with. If this is the
case, or if your constituent is seeking to make a
complaint, we will direct you to alternative avenues. Moreover, while we
campaign for waiting times to be shorter for all patients we cannot seek to
advance the position of an individual on a waiting list.
Note: if you are
contacting about your own eating disorder and are not a politician or a
staff member of a constituency or regional office, please contact our helpline
for eating disorder information and support.
