This is what it says about the piece tonight:-

Tonight on Look East - the family of a woman who is chronically ill claim

she's being denied the specialist treatment she urgently needs. Penny

Dashwood-Calvert from Maldon in Essex has been housebound for five years

with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, otherwise known as ME. One of the country's

top experts in chronic fatigue syndrome says she needs specialist help

without delay but Penny's struggling to get the neccessary funding from her

local PCT.
