Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is set to pledge an extra £150m of funding to help children with eating disorders.

The aim is to invest in preventative therapy to cut the need for hospital treatment.

The money, earmarked in this year's Autumn Statement, comes after figures show that admissions for eating disorders among young people have been rising in England.

Experts have been warning that current services are not always up to scratch.
