The Medical Research Council issued a statement recently

asking for comments from people who have read their draft

strategy document.

They have said....

<snip>

Please send your comments, preferably by email, to

cfs@...

or by post to:

CFS/ME Strategy Consultation

Medical Research Council

20 Park Crescent

London W1B 1AL

Deadline for comment is 31 January 2003.

All comments will be analysed thematically by the Public Health

Resource Unit in Oxford (www.phru.org.uk). The analysis will be

discussed by the CFS/ME Research Advisory Group. The

four MRC Research Boards will also be considering the

document during this period. It is anticipated the final report will

be discussed by MRC Council in March.

Thank you for taking the time to comment on the draft research

strategy.

</snip>

I hope you find the details of use to you.

The documents mentioned in this e_mail are unfortunately long

and will take ages to read but the Comments from Professor

Hooper make for excellent reading.

I am not able to write extensive comments to the Medical

Research Council myself so I for one will be sending them a

copy of Professor Hooper's Comments together with a concise

covering letter. )

Hopefully they'll get the message.

Sincerely,

.
