New Zealand City Could Get Eating Disorder Unit

In Auckland, New Zealand, there are no inpatient facilities for eating disorder treatment. Local patients are currently being sent to Sydney, Australia - but that could soon change.
"Plans for a regional service provided by Auckland District Health Board, with funding from Waitemata and Counties-Manukau are now being considered by the Health Ministry."
Funding is complicated because more than one health board is involved, and no timeframe has been released. Still, local residents are hopeful that those who need it will soon be able to find treatment closer to home. Source: Western Leader (NZ)
