An independent committee of experts and patient representatives should be set up to oversee government funding for biomedical research into CFS/ME, and the amount of yearly government funding allocated to biomedical research into CFS/ME should be similar to other similar diseases such as MS, AIDS, Cancer and Parkinson's.

If this reaches 100,000 signatures then it will be debated in parliament.

Signed up Glynis - just wish the title were ME/CFS or just ME (seeing it's the month of and dispose of the word fatigue beloved of the psyches in the UK)
