ME/CFS: Health Education

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how people with lived experience of ME/CFS will be involved in the design and delivery of the awareness campaign.

Answer

Lived experience had an integral role during the development of the final myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) delivery plan. The awareness plan will also require continued support from people with lived experience, and the ME/CFS community, for the distribution and promotion of any materials produced. The campaign will aim to focus on capturing attention and delivering key messages, which will then serve as a gateway to finding more information.

Departmental officials are currently considering how to involve people with lived experience of ME/CFS in the design and delivery of the ME/CFS awareness campaign, in addition to also exploring options for the format of the awareness campaign.
