Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Swinfen (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 2 June 2008.
Health: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
- Question
- My Lords, so far as I could hear, the Minister failed to respond to the noble Countess’s point on patients with this disease being sectioned and children being put into care as a result. Would he be good enough to do so now?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I have acknowledged that CFS/ME is a neurological condition, but I am not aware of the circumstances in which associated illnesses might require sectioning. The noble Countess wrote to me about one specific case and I shall respond in relation to that.
