In 2003, the NCHS/CDC published a draft of the ICD-10-CM for consultation, testing etc. This had been the proposed structure for the terms as the draft has stood in 2003 (screenshots sourced from 2003 draft Tabular List, a copy of which I have archived.) In 2004, Bill Reeves gave a...

As I've said in my post: "NOS" in ICD classification systems means "Not otherwise specified". Donna Pickett and other CDC and U.S. health agencies have given the following guidance: https://dxrevisionwatch.com/2011/10/20/coding-cfs-in-icd-10-cm-cfsac-and-the-coalition4mecfs-initiative/...

I was recently called "...Toxic, patronising and lacking in any sort of consideration." on Twitter for expressing a polite objection to the statement: "...They tend to be the older, longer suffering MEeps, obsessed with the history and politics of the disease."

This maybe needs some clarification for those who are not familiar with the U.S.'s ICD-10-CM: In the WHO's international edition of ICD-10 (for which the most recent release is ICD-10 Version: 2019) the ICD-10 "Concept Title" code is: G93.3 Postviral fatigue syndrome The specified Inclusion...

But Dr Charles Shepherd reported: "....Unfortunately, the meeting got off to an extremely regrettable start – all due to a very small section of the audience making repeated and sometimes very aggressive interruptions about various administrative matters. As a result of this gross discourtesy...

It may be of interest to know that when Des Turner was Chair of the APPG on ME, at the time when orgs and members of the public were permitted to attend these meetings, Des had threatened members of the public with being escorted out of the building by Parliament security. See also...

The Countess of Mar's Forward-ME group did not start until 2008. But all those reps from charity orgs listed above were there as guests. Even org reps designated as providing Secretariat services are not members of the APPG on ME. And no-one has a vote at an APPG meeting other than MPs and...

As I've just explained: none of the orgs above were "Associate Members". They were all orgs that were permitted at the time to attend as guests. The rest were members of the public who were permitted at the time to attend as guests. That particular APPG on ME permitted members of the public...

As I say, I'd rather see a small number of committed MPs and members of the HoL who are prepared to attend regularly involved from the beginning than a large number. What happened to that original 100 who showed initial interest in 2005? They would all have been receiving notices two weeks...

The current list of APPGs (Country Groups and Subject Groups) can be found here: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmallparty/200224/contents.htm

The Register of APPGs for 2020 has been published in the last few days: https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/standards-and-financial-interests/parliamentary-commissioner-for-standards/registers-of-interests/register-of-all-party-party-parliamentary-groups/registers-published-in-2020/...

I'd be looking for quality, short and long-term commitment, over numbers. Little point having 30 or more MPs and Members of the HoL turning up for an initial meeting, if in practice, only a handful (or less than a handful) bother to attend subsequent meetings or do attend, but infrequently. An...

In my experience, although APPGs used to require 20 "Qualifying members" in order to register a new group, after the inauguration meeting, it was pretty much unknown for anything like the full 20 "Qualifying members" to pitch up at subsequent meetings. Not unknown, either, for MPs to sometimes...

Where does the figure of 100 MPs and Lords attending APPG on ME meetings in 2005 come from, please?
