Following the publications of the report of his independent working group on chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) in 2002, the chief medical officer asked the Medical Research Council (MRC) to develop a research strategy to advance biomedical and health services research in this area. The MRC responded in May 2003 with the publication of a ““Research Strategy for CFS/ME”” developed by an independent scientific research advisory group.Sir David Cooksey’s report ““A review of UK health research funding”” recommended a single health research fund and the establishment of the Office for Strategic Coordination of Health Research to act as a central co-ordinating body for health research. The MRC and the Department’s National Institute for Health Research will in future be subject to these new oversight and funding arrangements.

Guidance is not issued by any Government Department to Appeal Tribunals on how to approach cases or decide them. Instead, the Department for Work and Pensions has made available to tribunals the disability handbook which contains a section on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.

People with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis/encephalopathy (CFS/ME) have access to the full range of health and social services support as outlined in the national service framework for long-term conditions (the NSF). This includes:"Joint health and social care plans that change over time and consider other needs such as housing, transport, benefits, education, careers advice, employment and leisure;Joint health and social care plans that change over time and consider other needs such as housing, transport, benefits, education, careers advice, employment and leisure;""Access to a broad range of services, including rehabilitation, equipment, accommodation and personal care to help people live as independently as possible at home; andAccess to a broad range of services, including rehabilitation, equipment, accommodation and personal care to help people live as independently as possible at home; and""Support to help people to work or take up other vocational opportunities.Support to help people to work or take up other vocational opportunities."The £8.5 million budget to establish new CFS/ME services has supported the development of 13 clinical network co-ordinating centres (CIMCCs) and 36 local multidisciplinary teams (LMDTs), as well as 11 specialist children and young people teams across England.The role of the LMDTs is to lead the development of services within primary and secondary care to support general practitioners and other relevant professionals in the care of the patient. In this respect, LMDTs are expected to develop networks of local domiciliary services, including health education and social services, to support those more severely affected, including those who are housebound and bed bound and are therefore unable to access services.Funding of CFS/ME services from 2006-07 is included within the resource allocations to primary care trusts (PCTs), PCTs have been informed that this funding would be included within their baseline allocations.Ministers and departmental officials regularly receive representations seeking dedicated funding for a range of specific diseases and conditions, including CFS/ME. These include a number of questions from Members, which appear in the Official Report, for example on 17 May 2006, column 1108W and 6 March 2006, column 1198W.
