At the time of her death, her bones protruded from her body, her teeth were rotten and she could only fit into children’s clothing. After 3 years of binging and purging, her body weakened and her heart gave out.
Her mother has been battling the system after realizing they had been let down. Her daughter visited her GP more than 2 times but didn’t receive the help she needed. She was told it was just a fad and that she would eventually get better.
Her mother continues the fight. “I was unable to save Cat but I would like to be able to help others. I will continue to campaign for an outpatient centre in Norwich. I feel this might have helped Cat.”
“I will also continue to communicate with the Primary Care Trust until it recognises what went wrong in Cat's case. The fact it has gone external is a positive step. I know there are girls out there who need it and if this was here when Cat was alive she might be here now.”
