In early May WAMES wrote to the Cabinet Secretary for Health, Vaughan Gething, expressing concern for the slow progress in implementing the Task & Finish Group Report’s Recommendations and asking him:

to provide, as a matter of urgency, support and finance for a national training and awareness programme.

The Cabinet Secretary has replied saying:

I welcome WAMES’ continued support for this agenda and the important challenge that your organisation brings to both Welsh government and health boards across Wales. I understand your frustration with the apparent lack of investment by health boards in services for those suffering from CFS/ME… I do recognise that more needs to be done for patients suffering with CFS/ME and other persistent pain conditions.

Good to see therapy is given separately from health science.

That's because, in Wales, "Health Sciences" refers to all the testing laboratories (histology, biochemistry, microbiology, haematology), whilst "Therapies" refers to non-medical clinical staff (physiotherapy, SALT, OT, audiology, podiatry, dieticians, radiology).
