Detail of outcome

In 2023, we shared our plan for improving the lives of people with myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

We shared a survey which asked people what they thought of our plan. This booklet will explain what we learned from people’s survey answers.

We want to share the final version of our plan by the end of June 2025.
