Liberal Democrat — Wells and Mendip Hills

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 November 2025

Debate

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Contribution

I could not agree more. For far too long, patients have been dismissed, and that care element is incredibly important, because it affects so many people. In July, the Department of Health and Social Care published the final delivery plan for ME, a cross-Government strategy aiming to improve attitudes, bolster research and better lives. It included some positive steps: new small grants for research into repurposed medications, and the development of a new service specification for mild and moderate ME. However, overall, the consensus of the charities and patient advocates I have spoken to is clear: the delivery plan falls far short of what was needed.
