§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked 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 WilliamsResearch 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.
