Additionally ME Resaerch UK extends its thanks to the 70 Members of the Scottish Parliament who supported Liz Smith MSP’s Motion which asked that “The Parliament marks International ME Awareness Day 2025 on 12 May and commends ME Research UK on the occasion of 25 years since its foundation…”
The level of support is most grtifying considering that it represents over half of 129 MSPs and over two thirds of the 104 MSP’s eligible to support such Motions – Ministers being precluded.
