==Graded exercise harms== Sir [[Edward Davey]] MP raised the prospect that if graded exercise continued to be offered on the basis it was safe, this may lead to patients taking legal action against the government: "If GPs, perhaps because they have not been trained, are making medical prescriptions for treatment following [[NICE guidelines]] because Ministers and the chief medical officer have not acted, if that treatment is harming people, and if that continues until October 2020 there will, as I said in my intervention, be a case for those who are harmed to go to court and seek compensation." He asked the minister whether [[GET]] should be withdrawn: "Should not graded exercise therapy be removed as a treatment option even before the NICE guidelines are reviewed, given the evidence that people are being harmed by it? The Minister is hearing that evidence today. Is there not a possibility that in future a court could compensate ME sufferers if they continue to be prescribed GET, given that we, the Minister and medical professionals know the evidence?"
