Chronic Illnesses: Health Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue delivery plan will include (a) advice and (b) provisions for (i) long covid, (ii) fibromyalgia and (iii) other conditions that cause fatigue.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
We are committed to improving care and support for people with myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). We recognise how devastating the symptoms can be, and the significant impact they can have on patients and their families.
As such, the ME/CFS final delivery plan focuses on ME/CFS only, and will not cover advice or the provision of services for related conditions, although some of the content may be applicable or relevant to other conditions that cause fatigue.
