Effect of lockdown on the young laid bare by figures showing rise in hospital admissions

The catastrophic effect of lockdown on children has been laid bare by figures showing a surge in hospital admissions for eating disorders. They reveal admissions in the last nine months were a third higher compared to the previous year. In one month they were up by 80 per cent. Girls aged 15 and 16 were the worst affected. Experts also warned that children were arriving in hospital in a more severe and complex state, partly because they hadn t been picked up sooner by GPs or teachers. Figures obtained by the Mail from NHS Digital show there were 2,292 admissions for youngsters aged ten to 18 with eating disorders between April last year and January, mostly suffering from anorexia and bulimia.
