Last week, on Wednesday 05 March, the APPG on ME held its second meeting, with the formal meeting minutes now available on the APPG's website.
The group were joined by two officials from the Department of Health and Social Care, with whom they discussed the upcoming Delivery Plan on ME/CFS.
Alongside this detailed discussion surrounding the Delivery Plan and the lack of strategic funding to back the Plan, members approved the APPG's proposed workplan, which included additional suggestions from other charities and members of the ME community.
It was also agreed that two of the APPG of ME's meetings this year would happen alongside the APPG on Long Covid, which is also Chaired by Jo Platt MP.
The APPG on ME's next meeting was confirmed for Wednesday 14 May, which will be the first meeting alongside the APPG on Long Covid.
The meeting will focus on research and the relaunch of the severe ME enquiry, which was postponed due to the 2024 general election and subsequent change in Government.
We will be updating the template letter on the APPG's website, to invite your local MP to attend the meeting, in due course and will provide a further update once this has been done.
