As with the vast majority of National Health Service care, the design and delivery of services for people with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is the responsibility of local clinical commissioning groups.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guideline ‘Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (or encephalopathy): Diagnosis and management of CFS/ME in adults and children’, published in 2007, sets out best practice for clinicians and commissioners in the diagnosis, treatment and support of patients with CFS/ME.
