Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government how people with lived experience of myalgic encephalomyelitis will be involved in the design and delivery of the awareness campaign.

Officials from the Department are engaging directly with a number of stakeholders, including representatives with lived experience of myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), and representatives from patient groups and charities, in the development of the awareness campaign. These stakeholders are members of the ME/CFS post-publication stakeholder engagement group, formerly the Task and Finish Group. Officials, together with these stakeholders, are considering the most effective options in the design and delivery of this campaign.
