    I have a hard copy. I think this might have been before digital copies were common.

    I did find the following 1998 task force report on my PC. Chalder was involved with this and it was not as good.

    Here is a House of Commons report from the late 1990s which wasn't great as I recall.

    Wow, those are treasures (of sorts).

    Although not scientific research per se would these be useful additions to the science library?

    4. RECOMMENDATIONS
    Enough is now known and agreed about case definition, diagnostic protocols and effective treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome to make the following recommendations:

    That was a bold statement in 1998.

    Rather depends on which organisations though. Just the compliant ones?

    Tom, you are amazing. I think Westcare released a simplified version of the 1994 report aimed at the public, which I threw away 20 years ago. Now I'm looking at the history of ME, to find you've archived the actual report plus these others is incredible. Many thanks.

    Cheers. I should say though I didn't do any work on scanning or anything like that. I'm not sure who did. I think that Marc-Alexander Fluks has done some sort of work like that over the years.
