Go Dave @19%

Apologies, this was not a serious suggestion. However we did have a much older friend with mobility problems whose vision was also going and I think people cleared out of his way pretty quickly when he headed down the road to the local supermarket! I also like the look of @AndyPandy's beach...

It would certainly be worthwhile having a summary of errors for Crawley Paediatric "papers" including: diagnostic criteria (if any) measurements of physical health, fatigue, cognitive processing, activity levels... size of sample duration and severity of illness etc There were at least two...

What about the pavements?

Thanks @Webdog, just what I needed to get me going on advocacy again this morning. Several emails drafted and groups contacted.

The new Chairman and a couple of other Trustees seem very reasonable. I do not know how long they have been in post, except for the Chair. who was "appointed" at AGM in Autumn 2016. I agree that dialogue is good, and hope they do join in. I realise that for some, past actions are still too...

Z's husband is keen to make a formal complaint to DWP, which we may well do. I will also be sending a summarised version to Carol Monaghan/Laura Pidcock MPs. I am awaiting, with interest, the minutes from the last Forward ME meeting as the Chief Medic from Capita was going to be attending...

Oh NO! But CP was not at the meeting

So, Chris Ponting will be deputy Chair from April They are talking about the BACME conference and BACME joining forces with CMRC, do they know that Per Fink is talking at BACME/
