A quick thread on the 'imminent' UK Gov. ME/CFS Delivery Plan, and, in particular, research funding.
First, the situation RE UK publicly-funded ME/CFS research is truly dire. Right now there is just one active project attempting to understand the illness—DecodeME. 1/n
Apart from DecodeME, the MRC has essentially not funded any direct research into ME/CFS for the past decade. Even NIHR funding—for the type of wishy-washy nonsense they love to fund—is currently low compared with past levels.
