I had an appointment with my GP today about potential CFS/ME support. The Leicestershire CFS/ME clinic where I live has been shut down. She had tried to refer me out of area, but was refused. My GP said the NHS is looking to close specialist services and instead push CFS/ME care onto GPs. She said the NHS is looking for ‘quick wins’. This is anecdotal but I feel it’s important to know, considering the lack of budget and definitive action within the Final Delivery Plan.
