    Talking about stigma. Partly media representation going back to the 1980's. Now quoting the Ricky Gervais bad joke. Raises the issue about mental health. Physical impact has impact on mental health.

    Research. Government £1.7 billion per year into medical research. MRC welcomes high quality applications blah blah. MRC encourages applications.
    Claims there has been a lack of high quality applications for research funds.
    NIHR has provided over £3 million for ME research - not biomedical. Justifies this as necessary research into treatment - presumably Crawley's junk research ...

    Training. RCGP has online training provision for ME. Funded by NIHR.
    Excusing GP's for not knowing 'everything about everything'.
    GP assessment includes ME.

    Treatment. Need to diagnose first. No accurate diagnostic test. Not easy to diagnose. Should be referred to a specialist service where treatment is based on their needs.

    Education - legal duty on schools. Guidance blah blah. Should have an individual plan that is flexible etc etc.

    He's just reading out the current provision for everything.

    Yep, he's just explaining what should happen, not accepting that it often doesn't.

    NICE guidelines
    CBT/GET - many patients disagree. NICE says patients have choice and right to refuse.

    NICE is the independent expert body... Politicians should not interfere...

    Carol Monaghan challenging the point about patient choice. No choice if benefits depend on doing GET.

    he will write to DWP Minister about benefits assessment
    he will write to RCGP about medical education
    NICE are responsible for guidance so not down to him to interfere but he said NICE will be listening to what is said today
    MRC are talking to CMRC

    Concludes by saying today is about 'raising awareness'.
    Echoes comment about Sharpe's e-mail.
