Abstract
It has been three years since the Chief Medical Office reported on CFS/ME and the time has come for a thorough investigation by an All Party Group drawn from the House of Commons and the House of Lords. We have received many written submissions and are engaged in taking oral evidence in 2-hour sessions, which we open to the public as well as interested groups. The group has received a fantastic response to its requests for written evidence over the last few months. Questions that arise for a government response are the lack of provision and support for CFS/ME patients, the issue of the clinical definition of CFS/ME, the need for a diagnostic test for CFS/ME, effectiveness of the NICE guidelines, and criteria used to decide which treatments are best for patients with CFS/ME.
Key Words: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Myalgic encephalomyelitis
