Special Educational Needs: ME/CFS
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many children have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) due to having myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).
- Answer
-
The department does not hold data on the number of children who have an education, health, and care plan (EHCP) due to having myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).
The department does publish information on the number of EHCPs held by school pupils by type of need, which is available here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/fast-track/ad01069e-f490-4855-9b2c-7f784a98758d. However, this does not include data on ME specifically.
