The coroner’s concerns
Charlotte’s mother formed the view that Charlotte was suffering from an eating disorder and was under the impression that the referral to a UCLH dietitian was made, at least in part, in order to explore this. In fact, Charlotte was never diagnosed with an eating disorder, did not meet the criteria for a referral on this basis and was referred solely for consideration of whether her nutritional status was having an impact on her height. I found no evidence of any link between Charlotte’s eating and her death. However, that might be different for another child. It seems from the evidence I heard that an explanation, perhaps on the website or in correspondence, that the UCLH dietetic service is not a mental health service and does not treating eating disorders, could be helpful.
