Government Apology to ME/CFS Patients

 * 2011, Norway's Directorate of Health Apologises for Treatment of ME Patients
 * 2015, M.E. awareness news from Norway – PM gave opening speech at awareness event
 * “We haven’t had anything to offer to this group, and they have been met with negligence in the health care system. This is because there have been a lot of prejudices towards this illness; that this is the result of a psychologically, almost wanted illness”, Solberg said in her interview to Norwegian national television, NRK. “It really is a scandal. The patients have been met with a lack of respect just because we haven’t had enough knowledge. The worst thing is that we haven’t worked very hard to get this knowledge either. It is important that the health care system make research on ME a priority”
