Who we are

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) is a cross-party group of Members of Parliament and the House of Lords.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal groups of MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share an interest in a particular topic. APPGs can’t make laws and are not official parliamentary committees, but can be influential in Parliament and beyond. The UK Parliament website maintains a register of all APPGs.

The APPG on ME seeks to improve health, social care, education and employment opportunities for people with ME and encourage biomedical research into the cause and treatment of ME.
