NICE And Their Irrational CFS/ME Guidelines

The British National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) are known for their irrational guidelines. NICE are always challenged. The fact that they are challenged should lead us to question whether they are doing their job appropriately. The question here remains, who holds NICE accountable? The answer is probably no-one. This is what happened to the Guidelines for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The Challenge to the High Court is extremely well described by One Click. Dr Malcolm Kendrick's statement was probably the highlight of the event. I for one enjoyed the entertaining descriptions of Leigh Day and Jamie B. It is well worth a read. Not a b ad choice by the Pro Bono Unit in terms of intelligence, all round appeal to women kind and court room presence - barrister Conrad Hallin.
