Me Awareness

EDM number 1323 in 1997-98, proposed by Paul Burstow on 14/05/1998.

That this House notes that 10th to 17th May was Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) Awareness Week; recognises the often severe difficulties faced by ME sufferers, their carers and their families; notes with concern that between 1996 and 1998 no resources were allocated by the Department of Health or the Medical Research Council to investigate the physical causes of ME; and calls on the Secretary of State for Health to propose measures to increase awareness and understanding amongst health care professionals and the general public to support research, and to provide care and support for ME suffers, their carers and their families.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
