Thank you @stephenctimms for meeting with #APPGME and #APPGLongCOVID and agreeing to my request to speak to @DHSCgovuk to fund research that would enable #pwME to get better, go to work, and come off benefits. Wins all round! #FundThePlan

Good to get a meeting with the actual responsible minister in the current government. I think all the dealings since Sajid Javid moved on from Health Secretary have been at official level. I

I was a junior official a couple of decades ago in a team where we had a couple of meetings to brief Stephen Timms during his previous stint as a Minister. He struck me as a decent guy at the time. I am hopeful he will be able to see that the status quo is not acceptable.

The Canary has an article on the disability cuts. Apparently two MP’s who sit on the APPG for ME are in favor of the disability cuts.

What happened to the meeting minutes of the most recent meeting? They used to be published a few day later.
