Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

EDM number 164 in 1992-93, proposed by Anne Campbell on 03/06/1992.

That this House agrees with the honourable Member for Loughborough's statement, made in his former capacity as a Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health, that myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is a debilitating and distressing disease affecting many thousands of people; considers that the disability living allowance handbook recently published by the Department of Social Security underestimates the physical and physically disabling nature of ME, ignores the growing body of scientific evidence showing brain cell abnormalities, damage to muscle tissue and persistent viral presence of sufferers and that this should be corrected; and urges the Department of Health to fund research into physical causes, possible treatment or cures of ME and send out authoritative information about ME to the medical profession.

This motion has been signed by a total of 148 MPs.
