Report of the Short Life Working Group on CFS/ME
The report of the Short Life Working Group on CFS/ME was published on 7th February. It states that “estimates based on published prevalence rates indicate that a substantial number of adults, young people and children are affected by CFS/ME throughout Scotland. This burden of illness is not well recognised at present, and there is therefore a need to raise the level of awareness of CFS/ME within the NHS in Scotland, among the general public and other statutory agencies such as local authorities, employers and benefit agencies.
