Responding to Archer this week Sir Stephen Powis, national medical director of NHS England, said that a “stocktake of existing CFS/ME services in England is being undertaken as an initial step”. He said a specific working group had also been set up to determine if extra support was required.
Nice will also review the evidence on dietary management and strategies such as tube feeding for patients with severe ME, to examine whether its guidelines need amendments.
Meanwhile, medical schools are being encouraged to provide undergraduates with direct patient experience of ME, and an NHS e-learning package about the condition will be promoted to all of them.
