High Court orders for transfer of 'childlike' teenage girl with severe anorexia to UK

A teenage girl who is being sent to the UK for specialist treatment for severe anorexia is very anxious that her teddy bear comes with her, the High Court has heard.

The girl was diagnosed with anorexia when she was 12 and does not wish to go to the UK but there is no appropriate facility here to address her very serious condition, the court heard.
