Verbatim
“The NHS Sussex-wide ME/CFS service that does outstanding work is only contracted to take referrals for mild and moderately affected patients, leaving the most in need the most neglected.”
“It's encouraging to know of the good number of patients who have been able to move on to lead reasonably active lives.”
