SIR – The tragic story of Lynn Gilderdale demands that we once again ask the Government why it is not doing more to find a cure for ME?
We fully understand the feeling of despair the most severely-affected (up to 60,000) UK people with ME experience when offered only therapies and not curative treatments for this horrible illness.
When is the Government going to recognise the human cost to sufferers and carers by pumping more money into biomedical research, and how many more deaths will it take to get this devastating condition the priority it truly deserves?
Sir Peter Spencer, chief executive, Action for ME
