The reference to the BPS is in the minister’s letter. I have simply shared this letter.

Tessa Munt MP 🔶 @tessamunt.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

../ 1. We need action to translate the availability of these documents into meaningful change. 2. So disappointed at continuing lack of clarity over the exploration of a national specialist service for v severe ME. 3. Hard to see that mere ‘capacity building’ will significantly progress research.

Thanks to Minister Frith for a progress update on the Final Delivery Plan on ME. Good that in collaboration w/ ‘stakeholders’ important documents have been written. But there is far to go before systemic failings across government are addressed. I’m consulting before responding. Initial thoughts…/

Today, Lifeboat Saturday, I’d like to pay tribute to the many brave men and women who volunteer for the #RNLI, risking their lives to save others in grave danger. I’m appalled at the abuse and intimidation faced by RNLI crews in recent weeks. Let’s support and celebrate this incredible charity.

👇🏽NB Helpful analysis and advice on the current Covid situation from @buds-disability.bsky.social. Remember that having Covid may bring long-term complications. And the data is that 50% of those with Long Covid develop ME-like symptoms. So, be wise, be Covid cautious. 😷 #pwME #pwLC

I welcome the decision to scrap plans to curb jury trials. Trial by jury is a fundamental safeguard in our justice system. Victims deserve timely justice, but weakening the right to a jury trial is not the answer. The Government must now focus on investing in our courts to bring down delays.

Thanks @thereforme.bsky.social! There must be serious review of the government’s inadequate response to #ME, with its cost to us all. Still considering best options to call for including @georgemonbiot.bsky.social proposed public inquiry, Select Committee Inquiry, a Czar or even referral to HSSIB.

This week, Window 2 of the Sustainable Farming Incentive 26 Scheme opened. The £233 million pot had gone within 6 hours. Countless farmers who were ready to apply were locked out of the system. A lifeline for so many became a lottery. It's devastating. The Government must sort this urgently.

Great to be at the LibDem Party Conference! I’ve attended for many years and always look forward to hearing from campaigners and activists, and seeing friends from across the West Country and beyond. I love being part of a unique and distinctive culture where all policy is voted on by members.

Too many #pwME tell me of NHS services where there is no accommodation for their ME related needs, and engagement sets them back rather than helping. I’ve written to minister Karin Smyth MP asking that the new Single Patient Record includes information on such needs - a sensible low cost measure

To continue to put on the pressure, I’ve tabled three new amendments for next week’s Report stage of the Health Bill. Each asks the government to have regard to the needs of persons with long-term, complex or fluctuating conditions - #pwME 👇🏽 Thanks to @actionforme.bsky.social for help with these.

As a start I’ve identified 5 areas, for initial confidence boosting: 1. Getting better numbers 2. Understanding the economic cost 3. Research to develop diagnostics and treatment 4. Changing detrimental attitudes, knowledge and practice 5. Providing a national specialist service for very severe ME

We are all paying for failure over successive governments to acknowledge the needs of all those affected by ME. It’s time for a fresh start, with investment to address their needs, to enable them to lead healthier lives and make the contributions to our country that they have dreamt of for so long.

Congrats to James Frith MP, newly appointed as the Minister for Health Innovation, with responsibility for ME. I’ve written to him on ME emphasising that given the numbers, and the length and extent of suffering, ME represents a significant burden at personal level, to society and to our economy.

I popped in to the busy Strawberry Line Cycle Project last week. The team does a great job keeping dozens of bikes and trikes (including some for those with mobility issues) maintained and ready to hire out. Its shop at Yatton Station, just metres from the Strawberry Line, is worth a visit.

For years, our local waterways have been pumped full of sewage, all while water bills rise, and water companies report profits. The PM must stand up for our communities, and hand our water infrastructure back to the people who actually use and rely on it. 👇🏽 sheptonmallet.nub.news/news/local-n...

It’s bonkers that we need a law to instruct officials to tell the truth, but the families tell us that honesty and transparency would have changed their lives. The Bill isn’t perfect, but it’s here - well past time, but now it’ll be the law.

Last Tuesday, when the Hillsborough Bill finally became law, was one of those days in Parliament when I felt particularly proud to be your MP. Public officials lied repeatedly to the Hillsborough families. People in Somerset have told me about dishonesty and cover ups The unfairness drives me wild

Five years after publication of the NICE guidance on ME - NG206 - implementation is still poor. My amendment to the Health Bill highlights this, requiring that a period be set for compliance and that the Health Secretary publish an annual statement. 🙏🏽 @actionforme.bsky.social for helpful advice.

Please could you support @tessamunt.bsky.social amendment Clause 47 of the Health Bill? This would make it possible to have vital clinical needs & adjustments on patient record. Things like this are vital. Eg “adjustments for severe noise or light sensitivity” “will arrive with stretcher transport”

The SPR will mean that all information about a patient’s health and care will be kept in one record. For #pwME, accommodations to minimise PEM, and address sensitivities, can make all the difference in a hospital visit. The SPR must carry this information to avoid senseless aggravations. Win-win!
