I don’t actually think there’s any certainty Javid will remain in post until 2024 - that’s a long time. We need substantial commitments this summer. And to be frank in this economic context even commitments to funding could be overturned until any contract is signed. Sounds like I’m being...

But in this case it’s worse they actually gave him a platform at their meeting

And the British are supposed to be experts at fudging issues. Certainly on GET the CDC appears to be leading the world on fudging.

Yes weasel words. How is that meeting the right context for “engaging with mainstream opinion” they need to set up professional meetings involving professionals who have a clue to enlighten mainstream opinion.

So how on earth did he get invited? @dave30th CDC removing GET from their website doesn’t mean much if they still allow it to be promoted in their own meetings

These people need to realise we are in the 3rd decade of the 21st Century, their attitudes are so last century.

Yes thanks I could read it all through his link

Apart from the date I think this is a pretty good article ETA and while the date might be a big issue for some in the community for me the ‘exact’ date isn’t something the GPs need to take on board the non psychosomatic message

This is significant. For example if someone decided to write to their MP to ask the CCG about plans in response to NICE guidelines such a statement by the Health Secretary would possibly assist in getting some previously disinterested MPs to engage with ME/CFS as a serious issue.

I know we still have a long way to go. However for the first time I have felt confident enough to have tagged in my GP surgery into a Facebook post about International ME day and I have written to my CCG about the NiCe implementation statement and asked what their plans are.

Oh I can think of a few gestures and expressions of my own to use Jan, I don’t need your brainwashed input
