It appears as though the long Covid, MECFS, pain and probably fibro (“complex MSK”) are merging.
 
I think this is important, that it is in early phases and that if you live in the area you could enquire about patient involvement if you felt inclined.

I wonder if other areas will look to follow suit, and whether MECFS services could be pulled into combined "needs-focussed not diagnosis-specific" services.

Do you think they know that the Isle of Wight is an island, separated from Hampshire by lots and lots of quite damp bits?

The question was raised at the Connecting Communities Integration and Collaboration Network Operational Delivery Board, none of the Board's members were in a position to confirm whether this knowledge was held and thus your Freedom of Information Act request was unable to be fulfilled.

otherwise known as 'transdiagnostic'?

Agree that this is good advice noting the 'Sussex' part and imagining the Sussex group will think they are owning 'the voice of the patient' otherwise?
