To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to ensure that the cross-government delivery plan for ME/CFS establishes a common UK-wide approach.

The final delivery plan for myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, will cover the population of England only.

However, due to the United Kingdom-wide nature of this issue, we have maintained engagement with the devolved administrations during the analysis of the consultation responses on the interim delivery plan, as well as on the ongoing development of the final plan.

We will continue to work closely with those devolved administrations to ensure that policy development and learning across the UK’s nations is shared.
