    UK House of Lords/ House of Commons - relevant people and questions

    There have been a number of questions raised in the House of Commons since 7 Oct, the day the Regulation 28 report preventing future deaths was issued. Sorry I don't know how to set them out like @Sly Saint for easy reading. Most are holding answers with one substantive answer being provided...

    UK:ME Association funds research for a new clinical assessment toolkit in NHS ME/CFS specialist services, 2023

    This is essentially what the Montgomery v. Lanarkshire case on the question of informed consent decided. It is the second time on this thread where I've had occasion to reference it, the last was 6 months ago with the last survey. This time I've found a 10 min overview presented by a Doctor...

    Merged "The chairman of NHS England has announced he is resigning, saying it was a “very difficult decision”. Richard Meddings, who has been in the role for almost three years, said he had notified Health Secretary Wes Streeting that he would stand down as chairman at the end of March. It comes...

    My reading of it also, based on my experience in Bath in 2011 but without the care plan. At that time this took place in the initial consultation with the service following GP referral, which at that time was only for Mild/Moderate patients of course. After which you undertook the 6 1hr...

    I think that bit's fairly standard. It was also in the MAGENTA trial consent for parents of CYP, to which the kids were also asked to Assent. I looked at it when it was published I think I recall calculating that the kids' data under that consent would be re-usable until they were in their...

    I came to a screeching halt after reading the 'fields' under the Consent heading on page 1 Info and consent and the About You page. I did not waste my energy reading the Patient Information Sheet or the rest of the survey form. I cannot consent to this: Reasons: This is part of a set...

    Crowdfunding for David Tuller starts October 1st 2024

    Done. Thanks never seem adequate enough. It's hard to believe that 9 years ago this month, we eagerly devoured every word of the first in the Trial by Error trilogy. I remember like it was yesterday; ignoring your pleas to us not try and read 15,000 words, all in one go to avoid crashing...

    The Concept of ME/CFS

    Firstly thank you for this. I haven't been able to read it all yet, but skimming through the comments, this comment from Wessely set off my internal BS detector alarms. Hasn't this already been deployed by someone else (can't remember where I saw it) as a counterargument to criticism of the...

    UK Government ME/CFS Delivery Plan consultation

    Good find @Nightsong. I don't remember seeing this. Two things strand out for me: Here's the Peter White meta analysis he refers to which focuses on harm from treatment. It references ,Cochrane among other...

    Maeve Boothby O'Neill - articles about her life, death and inquest

    I've just popped in from a six month absence due to severe PEM to let you all know that I have written to my MP. Wasn't sure where to post it, as it covers the missing report summarising the responses from the My Reality consultation a year ago, the Coroner's Regulation 28 Prevention of future...

    Ditto to the comments regarding the inability to print off any completed questionnaires. No guarantee that clinic HCP will be able to access them - what's the point? These form part of your healthcare records and must be accessible to the patient. I've just completed the FUNCAP for the first...

    I cannot see that an apology has been received, or have I missed it? If a public apology has not been received, I'm adding the comments of Sarah Tyson @Robert 1973 refers to, and this thread, as additional evidence in the part of the cause of action referencing historical and ongoing...

    UK Government ME/CFS Delivery Plan consultation

    Well spotted, they've added this text to the landing page. So we're expecting two things: Report summarising the actual responses received from the consultation period, and the final delivery plan.

    Petition: S4ME 2023 - Cochrane: Withdraw the harmful 2019 Exercise therapy for CFS review

    Just look at the timing of the response you received, in relation to the last few comments immediately preceding it, and Sir Sajid Javid's article in the The Times a day or two after them.

    NHS England - E-learning Modules on ME/CFS

    Since when was ME, CFS, CFS/ME and ME/CFS in that order, a 'new' or 'emerging disease' from the 80s? Who would benefit from such a description and why? Is this an attempt to protect, government departments, NHS figures and government advisers from that period? Is this now the official public...
