HC Deb 20 June 1978 vol 952 c138W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what research is being undertaken into the causes and treatment of anorexia nervosa; and if she will make a statement.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

Research into the causes and treatment of anorexia nervosa is being carried out in university departments and hospital medical schools, for instance, St. George's Hospital Medical School, but I regret that details of relevant projects are not available centrally.

The Medical Research Council also supports work which could have a bearing on this condition.
