==ME/CFS NICE guidelines== Professor [[Malcolm Hooper]] states: <blockquote>"During the life of the Working Group, a systematic review of the literature was commissioned from the NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD) by the Working Group; the CRD is based at the University of York and is a sibling of the UK Cochrane Centre (part of the international [[Cochrane|Cochrane Collaboration]]), whose Director at the time was Professor [[Iain Chalmers]], who, with [[Simon Wessely]], was a member of [[HealthWatch]]. Set up in 1994, the NHS Centre for Reviews and Dissemination aims to provide the NHS with important information on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of treatments and the delivery and organisation of healthcare and it plays an important role in disseminating politically correct information throughout the NHS. To no-one’s surprise, the CMO confirmed in writing that it was Wessely’s own database of over 3000 papers which formed the substance of that review upon which the CMO’s Report would depend for its “evidence”. The team which carried out the systematic review of the literature had another team to advise them, since none of them had any clinical experience of “CFS/ME”; again, to no-one’s surprise, the key adviser on this “advisory” team was Simon Wessely, assisted by [[Anthony Pinching]] and [[Christopher Clark]]. At the time, Clark was the new Chief Executive of the charity [[Action for ME]], who on his own admission knew nothing whatever about either ME, CFS or about the literature.<ref name="mentalhealthmovement" />"</blockquote>
