UK House of Lords/ House of Commons - relevant people and questions

[Peter T]

Me either, Wikipedia has write ups for them both

• Baroness Scott
• Lord Bethell

Baroness Scott is a Conservative [LibDem] with a background in dairy farming and local government.

Lord Bethell is a Conservative hereditary peer (I keep forgetting there any left). He had a background in journalism and had a nightclub before going into politics running for a number of Parliamentary constituencies, becoming an MP not long before he inherited his title.

Perhaps we can assume good intentions, this tells us little about their likely understanding of and support for ME/CFS issues or whether they might provide a useful counter to Baroness Gerada.

Thank you, I don’t know how I managed to read LibDem as Conservative. Have corrected post.

Probably my fault by linking to the Wikipedia page for Baroness Scott of Bybrook rather than Baroness Scott of Needham Market. Thanks for the correction @Suffolkres

This link may be of interest. I've abridged the heading slightly.

Nice to see a question relating to a specific aim and a specific timescale, rather than the usual 'what plans does the government have to help...?' which get the vague reply of 'we are committed to helping,' from which nobody learns anything.

True, but I suspect it will get exactly the same sort of reply.

I agree that question Cuts to the chase. It seems the charities drive the questions often , so they need to. As a severely affected persOn , I still have no vision for what NICE compliant is supposed to mean, The coroner said severely affected outpatient Care wasn’t really covered. Afaic, service provision has to cover all severities, at any stage, rather than being seen as for diagnosis only. There should have been time frames and plans for “implementation” from the get go.
