MAIMES

MAIMES [Medical Abuse in ME Sufferers] is a campaign to get a Public Inquiry into the abuse of ME sufferers

(This Page maintained by the MAIMES Team, Craig Robinson and Kathryn Twinn)

The results of this election have meant that the number of signed up MPs has fallen from 40 to 26, with 14 of 'our' MAIMES MP's either having stepped down or having been replaced by a new MP as a result of the election results - ie voted out!

The summary is attached as below.

The first column is the OLD MP [who was signed up to MAIMES]

The middle column is the relevant constituency

The last column is the NEW MP [not signed up to MAIMES]

We are looking for constituents of said constituencies to approach the NEW MPs and mention the fact that the previous MP for their constituency had signed up to MAIMES and could they please also sign up.

How can you help?

MAIMES aims to get a Public Inquiry into the Abuse of ME Sufferers
