ME/CFS: North East

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will allocate additional funding to support charities providing direct services to people with ME in the North East.

Answer

This data is not available. Services for people with myalgic encephalomyelitis are commissioned by local clinical commissioning groups. It is the responsibility of the local National Health Service commissioners to ensure NHS services are commissioned to meet local need and that they address any shortfalls in provision. Where appropriate, this will include commissioning services provided by voluntary sector organisations.
