    I thought this press release including

    "Up to 18 new Commercial Research Delivery Centres (CRDCs) will be established across the 4 nations to enhance and build upon the UK’s commercial clinical trials infrastructure and support patient recruitment into trials. "

    was of interest. See:

    I wonder if ME might be a good candidate to feed into this as part of the delivery plan. What do people think?

    Given that it seems to be being funded by the drugs industry I think it's highly unlikely ME/CFS will be included. There's no drug for them to trial that will be profitable for the drug companies involved, I think.
