No central assessment has been made of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) clinical services established between 2004 and 2006. The commissioning of services for people with CFS/ME is a local matter, and the management of patients within such services is the responsibility of the commissioners, providers and clinicians responsible for their care. Clinical commissioning groups have a duty to exercise their functions effectively, efficiently and economically<\/p>
<\/p>
Since its publication in 2007, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) clinical guideline on the management of CFS/ME in adults and children, which set outs best practice on the care, treatment and support of people with the condition, has supported the local National Health Service in delivering services for people with the condition. The guidance recognises the challenges in managing a condition for which there is no definitive diagnostic test, no clear understanding of the causes and process of disease and no cure. The guidance is also clear that there is no one form of treatment to suit every patient and that treatment and care should take into account the personal needs and preferences of the patient. NICE is currently reviewing the guidance to ensure it reflects the latest available evidence and a decision regarding this matter is expected shortly.<\/p>

The Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) is the Government\u2019s scientific advisory committee, from which the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) seeks independent scientific advice.<\/p>
<\/p>
The CHM considered a thorough review of the safety of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine at its meeting on 16 July 2015. Prior to 2015, the CHM considered reviews of HPV vaccine at meetings in September 2012, September 2010, September 2009, June 2009 and February 2009. These reviews included evaluation of United Kingdom Yellow Card reports, analysis of data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), published safety studies and safety data from other countries.<\/p>
Most recently, the CHM considered the safety of HPV vaccine at its meeting on 15 October 2015. At this meeting, the MHRA sought advice from the CHM on the (Co)-Rapporteurs\u2019 assessment reports prepared for the European Medicines Agency (EMA) review into reports of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and complex regional pain syndrome following HPV vaccine, in order to inform the UK position in the review.<\/p>
<\/strong>As with all vaccines and medicines, the safety of HPV vaccine remains under continual review by the MHRA.<\/p>"}
