I notice that the changes to the August publication date and the various events while the pause has been happening, other than the roundtable event, do not make it to the time line, and no documents are listed relating to the pause, other than the the two relating to the roundtable event.

It will be interesting to see what ultimately emerges from the FOI requests about the circumstances around the August pause or whether there will remain an element of mystery.
 
I've just had an email from Rupert at NICE in response to an email I sent this afternoon asking why the substantive error I pointed out hadn't been corrected (or, rather, I asked had it been considered, given that there was no changes to the text).

It turns out that they uploaded the wrong file to the portal. The correct file has now been uploaded, so if you're a stakeholder and downloaded the files this afternoon you might have to login to the portal again and get the right document!
 
Just a reminder that although the CG53 was published in August 2007, not all Tools and resources materials had been prepared at that point and some Tools and resources, for example, an Implementation advice document and a Slide set weren't posted until November 2007. So not every projected resource may be available tomorrow.

:arghh:
 
Dr Charles Shepherd said on the MEA Facebook page in a response to a comment on the announcement of tomorrow’s publication that they are getting ‘quite a lot of media interest already’.

I guess a Friday publication means there can several days of reporting, including the Sunday papers, before it drops out of the main news.

Which suggests that a press release did go out today.

If all goes to plan it will be available on here and on the NICE website tomorrow - possibly at 1 second past midnight in the case of the NICE website! Dr CS MEA

Hmm, looking forward to the fact it's finally published, but rather dreading the loopholes they have probably put in it. The biggest seems to be the ease with which it will be possible for people's diagnoses to simply be switched to FND, MUS, etc etc. in order that the abuse can continue without anyone raising an issue with the guidelines.

A clinician can't just switch a patient's diagnosis on whim - it would have to take place within some sort of process involving the patient and within which informed consent would be foundational. Changing diagnosis would implicitly involve a change in the treatment and care plan that the patient is entitled to. If those running CFS services were to change diagnoses on mass there would be a clear case of malpractice.

I don't doubt that individuals have suffered from surreptitious changes to their records but some kind of mass switching would demand all sorts of answers from those doing the switching.
