Petition request
That the House of Representatives urge the Government to provide more expert care and subsidy assistance for young people with eating disorders
Petition reason
There are not enough resources and experts in New Zealand to provide the specialised care for those struggling with an eating disorder. The public and private system is full to the brim and the wait lists are extremely long so vulnerable people are lost in the system. What's more, there is no subsidy assistance to help families cover the costs. Eating disorders are life-threatening and if not caught early, they can become more entrenched, become harder to overcome and some will die.
