\nHospital admissions for children and young people with eating disorders rose 82% since 2019 to 2020<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
It is also expected to find that children from the most deprived backgrounds were twice as likely to be obese by reception age.<\/p>\n
In the poorest communities, the report finds, nearly one-in-three children is obese by Year 6.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the report says life-threatening and life-limiting conditions among children are up 40% over the past two decades.<\/p>\n
The full contents of the Darzi report will be published on Thursday.<\/p>\n
As Sir Keir puts it, the report was to provide the diagnosis so that a longer term cure could be worked out. <\/p>\n
Some of Lord Darzi’s report has been put out early by the government with eye-catching findings, and his conclusion that there were \u201creal concerns\u201d over the ability of the NHS to deliver quality care.<\/p>\n
But there will be much more in the report to be published in the next few days. What will it say, for example, about overstretched GP services? Or retention and recruitment of staff? It will undoubtedly set out more problems and challenges. <\/p>\n
Sir Keir pinned the blame for the problems on the Tories, in an echo of the government\u2019s criticisms of its economic inheritance, and argued only Labour can bring the reform the government needs. <\/p>\n
“It\u2019s the last government that broke the NHS,” Sir Keir said. “Our job now through Lord Darzi is to properly understand how that came about and bring about the reforms.”<\/p>\n
He said that started with the first step of funding 40,000 out-of-hours NHS appointments each week to cut waiting lists. <\/p>\n
There are questions over how long Labour can keep blaming the Conservatives and when scrutiny will turn to their own performance against NHS targets.<\/p>\n
Sir Keir appeared to acknowledge this, saying: “We\u2019ve got to do the hard yards of reform as well.<\/p>\n
“And as I say, I think it\u2019s only a Labour government that can do the reform that our NHS needs, and we\u2019ll start on that journey.” <\/p>\n
In the wide-ranging interview in Downing Street’s Cabinet Room, Sir Keir also discusses the summer riots, Grenfell disaster, public finances and his upcoming second visit to the White House. <\/p>\n
