It's ridiculous to say that they can only give the group a summary - these papers are being used to define the national treatment guidelines - surely they can pay for journal access or email the authors!!
This is one of the companies that the MEA always recommend and they have adverts in the MEA magasine. There is another one that is an ME specialist as well . I rang both up last year and the other one was very underwhelming and not knowledgeable on a basic employment part of an insurance...
Interesting exchange of views on the MEA FB post about this today. I won't paraphrase it as I don't know enough and don't want to say something wrong but it was to do with the people still involved. If someone is more with it today then I am then maybe they could take a look x
It might be worth writing to the male MP from the debate in Parliament the other week. As he had expressed concern about GET and suggested removing it until the new guideline is published. Telling him that there is no way of flagging non pharmacological treatments that cause harm might help add...

Maybe bunting would be easier - one flag per person and they could have pictures or writing on. If they are made with string or ribbon on each side then they can just be tied together. Easy to transport, keep etc.
Upgraded my bunting idea to t shirt bunting - that would keep the theme of...
He has already avoided the question once but I sent it again so my MP sent it back to him :)
Hopefully one of his team will look into it and at least be able to tell us what happened
I think this is where I got the first quote from http://www.investinme.org/Article-704 UK-Government Position on ME.htm
