By David Tuller, DrPH
I sent the following letter today to Professor Gillian Leng, chief executive of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). It was a follow-up to the letter I sent on September 1st about the agency’s decision to delay publication of it new ME/CFS guidelines. The letter has now been signed by more than 150 experts and more than 100 UK and international charities, support groups and other relevant organizations.

Dear Professor Leng,

I am re-sending the letter about the new ME/CFS guidelines that I sent you earlier this month, with more experts signed on as well as dozens of UK and international charities, support groups and other concerned organizations.

On a personal note, I also wanted to extend my sympathy concerning the recent loss of your husband, which I learned about from your retirement announcement.

Best—David
