We are delighted to announce that Seamus Logan MP has joined our Parliamentary Champions network!
Seamus is an MP for Aberdeenshire North and Moray East.
Speaking on joining our network, Seamus said:
“From my time working in the health service, I have seen people, including colleagues, affected by ME and the stigma and misunderstanding they can face.
I was concerned to hear more about the inconsistent implementation of NICE guidelines, as well as the fact that ME disproportionately affects women and can also affect children. Research such as DecodeME at the University of Edinburgh offers an important opportunity to improve understanding of the illness and support future progress.
I am pleased to become a Parliamentary Champion for Action for ME and look forward to working with the charity to press for greater recognition, better services and improved support for everyone affected by ME.”
Our network of Parliamentary Champions are our 'go-to' individuals when engaging with Government and building support for our campaigns more broadly in Parliament and beyond.
They help us in a number of ways, including:
· Tabling written and oral questions on ME
· Tabling and supporting debates on ME
· Sponsoring events in Parliament.
· Writing opinion pieces for national and local press.
