We are delighted to formally announce Sir Sajid Javid MP as our newest Parliamentary Champion!
Sir Sajid is committed to supporting people living with ME and as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, announced the development of the National Delivery Plan on ME/CFS for England.
On joining our Parliamentary Champions Network, Sir Sajid Javid MP said:
"As Health Secretary I was committed to ensuring better care and support for people living with ME. I look forward to continuing this work as one of Action for M.E.’s Parliamentary Champions.”
We are also pleased to announce that Sir Sajid Javid MP will be leading a Westminster Hall debate in the Houses of Parliament on Wednesday 1 May, 16.30 – 17.30.
Ahead of World ME Day on 12th May, this Debate provides an opportunity for MPs to share the experiences of people living with ME/CFS and consider what more can be done to improve experiences and outcomes.
As a Government minister will respond to the debate, it is important that as many MPs attend as possible.
We have therefore developed the following template which we ask you all to use and send to your local MP, encouraging them to attend the Westminster Hall to represent you at the debate: https://www.actionforme.org.uk/uploads/files/FINAL_Template WH MP invite.docx
If you are unsure on who your local MP is, you can use the search function on the parliamentary website to identify them and their contact details: https://ow.ly/s5hN50RoK6W
If you are able and willing to, we also encourage you to include any additional information about your experiences of ME, within the template message to your MP.
We are very grateful to Sir Sajid for ensuring that the voices of people affected by ME are heard and not lost.
