A beauty queen in the East Midlands has told Capital she wants GPs to stop looking at weight when they diagnose eating disorders. Holly Desai, Miss Leicestershire, has suffered from bulimia and when she went to her doctor was told she wasn't thin enough for the treatment she wanted. West Leicestershire Clinical Commissioning Group, who deal with treatments in the East Midlands, say looking at patients weight is part of the criteria for accessing specialist services but say GPs and nurses can help locally too.
