NHS England must keep to this promise; the simplest change to a long established narrative that killed Maeve and threatens every other person with #ME.

🧵 #MaeveInquest update. A world first is promised.
NHS England's response states (where they were refusing to discuss commissioning of a specialist service for ME to prevent starvation, which is the best metaphor for #ME and #LongCovid during the inquest) NHS Executive is currently in talks with NHS
