A Christchurch mother fears her daughter won't recover from anorexia because she can't access the treatment she needs.

Currently her daughter is in general hospital care, being fed intravenously to stay alive.

That family has been told that specialist therapy previously available at Princess Margaret Hospital currently doesnt have any spare beds.

Her mother says that treatment was working but stopped at a crucial point.
