Concerns about a shortage of eating disorder specialists have been raised by a health minister following the deaths of five women with anorexia.
Coroner Sean Horstead warned NHS trusts were "finding it difficult to fill" eating disorder vacancies, after the women's inquests in Cambridgeshire.
Conservative MP Nadine Dorries said she shared concerns over the shortages.
She said more accurate data was needed about the number of people with eating disorders.
Mr Horstead had said that while eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of mental illnesses, he was "concerned that there may also be a significant under-reporting of the extent to which eating disorders have caused or contributed to deaths".

Does anorexia stay with you for life?

Does anorexia stay with you for life?
The death of Big Brother's Nikki Grahame showed that eating disorders can continue past childhood… so why are midlife sufferers denied help?

Think of anorexia and the image of an emaciated teenage girl may come to mind. But the true picture is far more complicated according to Hope Virgo, 31, an author and mental health campaigner from Bristol.
Adult men and women also struggle with eating disorders, says Virgo, but because they are able to function more easily, or don’t fit the stereotype, can find it even harder to access effective support.

How Big Brother star was released from hospital 12 hours before she died weighing less than 31kg

Tragic Big Brother star Nikki Grahame was the victim of a series of care failures that led to her 'entirely avoidable' death from anorexia, those closest to the 38-year-old have claimed.
They have also revealed Nikki's 'desperate struggle' to get treatment over the last six months, during which time she was discharged from hospital twice while severely unwell, on one occasion weighing just 22kg – the equivalent of a seven-year-old child.
The last time she was discharged, on Thursday April 8, she weighed less than 31kg. Just 12 hours later, she was dead.
'If she hadn't have been discharged, I think she'd still be with us today,' said one friend who has been closely involved with her medical case over a number of years.

The NHS failings that cost Nikki Grahame her life

Tragic Big Brother star Nikki Grahame was the victim of a series of NHS care failures that led to her 'entirely avoidable' death from anorexia, those closest to the 38-year-old have claimed.
They have also revealed Nikki's 'desperate struggle' to get treatment over the last six months, during which time she was discharged from hospital twice while severely unwell, on one occasion weighing just three and a half stone – the equivalent of a seven-year-old child.
The last time she was discharged, on Thursday April 8, she weighed less than five stone. Just 12 hours later, she was dead.
'If she hadn't have been discharged, I think she'd still be with us today,' said one friend who has been closely involved with her medical case over a number of years.
