Commons Debate on ME
The Motion to be debated in the House of Commons on Thursday 24th January is reported to be -
"That this House calls on the Government to provide increased funding for biomedical research into the diagnosis and treatment of ME, supports the suspension of Graded Exercise Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy as means of treatment, supports updated training of GPs and medical professionals to ensure they are equipped with clear guidance on diagnosis of ME and appropriate management advice to reflect international consensus on best practice, and is concerned about the current trends of subjecting ME families to unjustified child protection procedures.”
It is worth highlighting the role of ME Research UK in funding biomedical research world-wide whilst the majority of (inadequate) UK public funding for research into ME has been awarded to psychological and behavioural studies - https://bit.ly/2dtvyi2
