Freedom of Information Act requests
King's College London refused to provide information requested about "substantiated claims of harassment of allegations of threats" to staff under the Freedom of Information Act, claiming this information was exempt from disclosure on the grounds that it may identify individuals. However, controversial researcher Sir Simon Wessely, who is employed by King's College has repeatedly identified himself as the victim of harassment, abuse and even death threats in a number of news articles.

The Kings CFS research and treatment unit has been renamed -

"The Persistent Physical Symptoms Research and Treatment Unit [&] is a national specialist service undertaking assessment, treatment and research regarding chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS, sometimes known as ‘ME’). The unit is a partnership between King's College London, South London and Maudsley NHS Trust and NIHR Biomedical Research Centre."

In 2022 they are still saying:

"Our routine treatment is cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), which has been shown in several randomised controlled trials to be an effective intervention for CFS/ME. We also provide Graded Exercise Therapy (GET) and are also now seeing patients with fatigue in relation to chronic diseases. "
