Department of Health and Social Care
Quick summary
This document summarises the consultation responses.
Please note that it is not intended to be an announcement of any new government actions on ME/CFS.
The consultation responses, alongside continued stakeholder engagement, will inform the development of the final Delivery Plan on ME/CFS.
The DHSC aims to publish the final version of the Delivery Plan by the end of March 2025.
The final Delivery Plan will be co-produced with stakeholders, through the ME/CFS Task and Finish Group.
According to the DHSC this will involve careful consideration of the consultation responses and the assessment of the feasibility and viability of the proposed actions.
There is a lot to read here and I have only just seen this ministerial announcement – so I will comment further when I have had time to go through it properly.
