Ask your MP to put a health quesiton down on why the DHSC have paused action on commissioning a specialised service for very severe ME/CFS until April 2027 at the earliest.

The DHSC paused action on commissioning a specialised service for very severe ME/CFS until April 2027 at earliest. This isn’t acceptable @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social! Sign up for our mailing list meaction.org.uk/sign-up for more news. #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #VerySevereME

Another heartbreaking case of a very severe ME sufferer. Tomos is in Wales but there is nowhere treating the very severe anywhere in the UK. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #VerySevereME

Children and young people may grieve changed abilities, missed milestones, friendships that slip, and a “before” life. Want to know how to help? Download this toolkit ➡️ bit.ly/4qCMCkL

In an election year, speaking to prospective parliamentary candidates is more important than ever. Last weekend, our volunteers spoke to three PPCs @snp.org Spring conference - @thewliss.bsky.social Kate Campbell and Steven Bonnar #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #HealthEquality#MyalgicE#MyalgicE

Many children and young people take on caring roles without identifying as a young carer. This can mean key support they are entitled to is missed. Help make sure they’re supported effectively. Check out this toolkit bit.ly/4qCMCkL #BrainAwarenessWeek #DontAssumeImOK

Children and young people affected by neurological conditions can hide the impact. This is known as “masking” and can delay support. Do you work with children and young people? Check out this toolkit ➡️ bit.ly/4qCMCkL #BrainAwarenessWeek #DontAssumeImOK

#MEAction Scotland thank @BenMacpherson for his tireless support since our launch in 2018. Due to his recent appointment as a Minister, Ben is stepping down as our official parliamentary champion. We look forward to working with our new SNP champion, @PaulMcLennan7 #MyalgicE

Neurological conditions can co-occur with anxiety, depression, behavioural change and more. Read our toolkit on how to support children and young people impacted by neurological conditions ➡️ bit.ly/4qCMCkL #BrainAwarenessWeek #DontAssumeImOK

At least 1 in 6 people lives with a neurological condition, including children and young people. The mental health impact of these conditions can often be hidden or misunderstood. Do you work with young people? Check out this toolkit @neuroalscotland.bsky.social bit.ly/4qCMCkL #BrainAwarenessWeek

#MEAction Scotland has been contacted by the Long Covid service within NHS Ayrshire & Arran. They are asking the ME/CFS community to complete a short survey to help them design the new service they’re setting up with their share of the £4.5 million announced by the Scottish Government last autumn.
