NHS England is responsible for allocating funding to integrated care boards (ICBs), including the Humber and North Yorkshire ICB, which are in turn responsible for commissioning specialist myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), services that meet the needs of their population, subject to local prioritisation and funding.<\/p>
The process of commissioning services should take into account best practice guidance, such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence\u2019s (NICE) guidance on ME/CFS diagnosis and management, published in October 2021. The NICE guidelines provide recommendation on principles of care for people with severe ME/CFS, including hospital care, and adapting a multidisciplinary approach involving access to a range of health and social care professionals based on needs.<\/p>
The Department has funded the £3.2 million DecodeME study with the Medical Research Council to understand the causes and consequences of, and find treatments for, ME/CFS. This study aims to understand if there is a genetic component to the condition and, in doing so, increase our understanding of ME/CFS to support the development of diagnostic tests and targeted treatments.<\/p>
A public consultation on the interim delivery plan for ME/CFS was run in 2023, and it is a priority of ours to publish the response to this consultation. Departmental officials are in the process of finalising a report summarising the responses. The consultation responses, alongside continued stakeholder engagement, will inform the development of the final delivery plan, which we aim to publish in the winter of 2024/25.\u202fThe plan will focus on boosting research, improving attitudes and education, and bettering the lives of people with this debilitating disease.<\/p>"}

Long-term sickness continues to be the most common reason for economic inactivity among the working age population. We know that appropriate work is generally good for health and wellbeing. We want everyone to get work and get on in work, whoever they are and wherever they live. We want people to avoid poverty, and for this to happen we must ensure that disabled people and people with health conditions can work and save for as long as they wish and are able to.<\/p>
Disabled people and people with health conditions are a diverse group so access to the right work and health support, in the right place, at the right time, is key.<\/p>
The Department for Work and Pensions and the Department for Health and Social Care are committed to supporting disabled people and people with long-term health conditions, including functional neurological disorders (FND), and have a range of support available so individuals can stay in work and get back into work, including those that join up employment and health systems.<\/p>
Measures include joining up health and employment support around the individual through Employment Advisors in NHS Talking Therapies and Individual Placement and Support in Primary Care, as well as support from Work Coaches and Disability Employment Advisers in Jobcentres and Access to Work grants. We also support the role employers play in increasing employment opportunities and supporting disabled people and people with health conditions to be part of the workforce, including through increasing access to Occupational Health, a digital information service for employers and the Disability Confident scheme. The information service is available at the following link:<\/p>
https://www.support-with-employee-health-and-disability.dwp.gov.uk/support-with-employee-health-and-disability<\/a><\/p>As part of our Get Britain Working plan, more disabled people and those with health conditions will be supported to enter and stay in work, by devolving more power to local areas so they can shape a joined-up work, health, and skills offer that suits the needs of the people they serve.<\/p>
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines on FND state that symptoms of FND include recurrent dizziness, limb or facial weakness, numbness and tingling, difficulties with memory and concentration. Severity of symptoms also fluctuates and increases during times of stress. It is, therefore, important that employers provide appropriate adjustments for people with neurological conditions, including FND, to better support them in the workplace.<\/p>
The two Departments will work together to support people with long-term conditions, including FND, back into work.<\/p>"}
