==Funding, Influence and Conflicts of interest== The UK's [[Medical Research Council]] provides a great deal of funding to research by Wessley school proponents.<ref name=":0" /> The UK's [[Department for Work and Pensions]] (DWP), which provides social security payments for people with disabilities or on very low incomes, also provided considerable funding to the [[PACE Trial Management Group|PACE]] - despite never previously funding health research. The initial Wessley school conference, which took place in 1988, was sponsored by drug company Novartis. A number of members of the Wessely school have undertaken work for private health insurance companies including [[UNUM|UNUM Insurance]], the DWP, and pharmaceutical companies. Simon Wessely played a key role in developing the previous [[National Health Service]] (NHS) treatment guidelines for ME/CFS, known as the [[NICE guidelines]]. He was not directly involved with the 2007 update, nor is he believed to be part of the current working group revising those guidelines. Prof. Wessely also provided the previous [[Cochrane]] reviewers with extremely extensive publications.
