Dear Dr Shepherd



I am pleased to inform you that the Curriculum Development Group and Postgraduate Training Board have now debated the views expressed about the reference to CFS/ME in the Mental Health statement and have agreed to remove the reference from the statement. It was not felt necessary to insert a specific reference to CFS/ME elsewhere in the curriculum, eg under Neurological Problems, because the curriculum takes a largely generic approach and does not specify every possible condition.



We remain happy to have a meeting with you and I am sorry that it has taken so long to arrange this.



Yours sincerely

Ruth Palmer



Director, Professional Development & Standards
