How many carers in Jersey supporting people with eating disorders?
What are the figures of the number of carers helping people with eating disorders over the last five years?
How much - if any - funding does the government provide to help carers helping people with eating disorders?
Response
The information as requested is not held in a reportable format. Any information that may exist is held in a format which cannot be extracted without manipulation, and the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 does not require a Scheduled Public Authority to manipulate data to create information for the purposes of responding to a request.
Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 therefore applies.
For courtesy and context only, a table showing the total number of carer-related claims between 2021 and 2025 is provided separately. These figures do not identify the condition of the cared-for person.
