To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the oral contribution of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Care of 21 June 2018, Official Report, column 232WH, on ME: Treatment and Research, what steps his Department has taken to collaborate with the Department for Work and Pensions on guidance for healthcare professionals for the assessment of people with ME [180813].
Steve Brine
The Department is not directly responsible for producing training and clinical guidance for healthcare professionals. Such guidance is a matter for organisations such as National Institute for Health and Care Excellence or clinical professional organisations such as the Royal College of Physicians.
