If Dr O'Leary thinks that NICE's decision to use "Myalgic encephalomyelitis (or encephalopathy)/chronic fatigue syndrome" and "ME/CFS" for the 2021 guideline instead of "Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis" and "CFS/ME" (as per the 2007 guideline) will somehow overnight "sort the...
For those not aware, in an August 2020 BMJ Rapid Response, lecturer in philosophy, Dr Diane O'Leary, included this gem:

“The term “chronic fatigue syndrome” names a psychiatric condition that sometimes develops in reaction to acute viral...
As bolsters for her own papers and articles?
If she was that concerned about the use of the term "Chronic fatigue syndrome" I would have thought she'd have been all over the US ICD-10-CM September proposals - but not a word, that I have seen. According to her, it's sorted in the US because the...
I do wonder whether some of her hubris stems from having been misdiagnosed some years ago with CFS before being diagnosed with Sneddon's syndrome (all public domain and media reported information). Now she seems to think that reversing the order of CFS/ME to ME/CFS has erased the CFS term...
Why is she seemingly incapable of grasping that in the UK, under NHS England's mandated coding and terminology systems, it makes no difference whether you are diagnosed with Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, or with myalgic encephalomyelitis, or with chronic fatigue syndrome -...
The fact that the WHO continues to code both terms to 8E49 for ICD-11, is in her view, immaterial. As is SNOMED CT having CFS as the lead term and cross mapped to ICD-10's G93.3.
I find it interesting that for someone based in the US she never involves herself in US coding proposals. If the...
She appears to believe that NICE's decision to switch the 2007 guideline title "Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis" to "Myalgic encephalomyelitis (or encephalopathy)/chronic fatigue syndrome" for the 2021 guideline some how magics away the term, "Chronic fatigue syndrome", which...

Diane O'Leary is still at it:
Meanwhile, NCHS has proposals under review by the Director of NCHS for returning Chronic fatigue syndrome to the ICD-10-CM G93.3 location, under proposed new sub-code: G93.32 Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, with three proposed inclusion terms...

Have they forgotten that in August they had claimed:
"...This was after the final embargoed copy of the guideline already contained last-minute amendments that undermined the entire practical basis of a science-led document."
A reminder that if you are planning to submit feedback on the proposals of the 7 US orgs and the alternative proposals presented by NCHS*, the deadline for receipt of comments is November 15.

Yes, 30 July sign of by Guidance Executive.
Sign off by Guideline Committee happens before sign off by Quality Assurance (8 July) and sign off by Guidance Executive (30 July).
So the order is:
Committee sign off (no date available).
Quality Assurance sign off.
3 committee members resign...
On 29 October, ie the day after publication, I finally received a response to my 28 days overdue request:
