Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make a statement on the provision of post-graduate training in the treatment of myalgic encephalomyelitis. [18755]

Mr. Boateng

The medical Royal Colleges and their Faculties are responsible for the content and standard of postgraduate, or specialist, medical training. The treatment of myalgic encephalomyelitis is likely to form part of specialist training programmes in several different medical specialities and also of vocational training for general practice.
