PE398, in the name of Helen McDade, calls on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Executive to carry out a strategic needs review assessment of myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome, and to take a range of other steps regarding the treatment of and research into those conditions. John McAllion was appointed to monitor the position of the Executive and to report back to the committee on that. In May the committee considered the Executive's reply to the petition. It was agreed that John McAllion should contact the Executive to seek further clarification on a number of points. A reply was received on 26 August. Members are invited to note the response and to consider whether the committee should take any further action in relation to the petition.

The record
4 contributionsThe short life action group has met several times and hopes to produce a report by the end of the month. I know that patient representatives on the group are concerned about the drift of the report's conclusions and that they are seeking a meeting with the Deputy Minister for Health and Community Care, Frank McAveety, so that they can influence those conclusions. I will report back to the committee as soon as information is available.
So we should delay our comments until we have received the report of the short life action group. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
