New services for children and young people under 16 with ME/CFS have been commissioned by Kernow Clincal Commissioning Group for patients registered with a GP in the county.
Services now exist for those under 16 as well as for adults over this age.
Increasing numbers of children and young people with this condition have now been funded as an addition to the adult service at Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust.
Referral is by paediatrician only to the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly CFS/ME Service based at Lighthouse, Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust. Truro. TR13LJ
