Women told they aren't 'thin enough' for eating disorder treatment, MPs told

Women told they aren't 'thin enough' for eating disorder treatment, MPs told Patients who fear they have eating disorders are being told by GPs they aren't "thin enough for treatment", according to a woman who was denied help.

The woman's MP, Wera Hobhouse, highlighted her story during an emotional debate in Westminster Hall.

In some cases, GPs were denying patients help because they didn't fall under the Body Mass Index (BMI) category of "anorexic", said Ms Hobhouse. BBC News
