Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench). It was answered on Monday, 2 June 2008.


Health: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Question
My Lords, is it not the case that under Section 31 of the Children Act 1989 a child can be placed in care only if he or she is suffering significant harm or is at risk of significant harm and that therefore any connection with ME can only be on the basis of a misdiagnosis?
Answer

My Lords, I am very grateful for that intervention.
