M.E. Specialist Centres

Here, we gather, publish and constantly update the contact details for all centres in the UK.

We invite the people who run and work in these centres to provide information about the philosophy behind them and the treatments provided there.

We, also, invite people with M.E., especially those who have had, or are currently having, treatment in any centre, to tell us about their attitudes and experiences, whether positive or negative. More information about this can be found on the M.E Specialist Treatments page.

These are the latest contact details we have. Please get in touch, at the same e-mail address, if you think we can help further.

Planning and funding investment for people with CFS/ME

About the £8.5 million central budget for pump priming clinical services for people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) in 2004-2006.

On 12th May 2003 Jacqui Smith, Health Minister, announced a central revenue budget of £8.5 million to develop services specially designed for people with CFS/ME.

The investment is intended to pump prime the development of clinical services where none currently exist.

The first phase of development will commence in 2004 with a further phase in 2005 with the intention that funding will be built into PCT general allocations in 2006. It is expected that over time local health communities will supplement the central budget from their own allocations.
