Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Announcements

Statement

My Rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care (Sajid Javid) has made the following written statement:

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) affects the lives of children and adults across the country. It can be an incredibly disabling condition with fluctuating symptoms making it difficult to take part in everyday activities, enjoy a family or social life, access services and engage in work or education – especially for the estimated 25% of people who have severe or very severe symptoms. Whilst there are currently no known cures or treatments for the condition, people with ME/CFS can be supported to manage their symptoms and maximise their quality of life.
